Six of Australia's leading women players headed to India on Monday to participate in a training camp that will form a vital part of its preparations heading into an exciting period for women's cricket.
Rachael Haynes, Meg Lanning, Jess Cameron, Annie-Rose Maloney, Sarah Coyte and Jessica Jonassen are all taking part in a nine-day camp in Pune.
"This tour will be vital in giving these players some great experience ahead of a bi-lateral series against India in March 2012, the ICC WorldTwenty20 in Sri Lanka in 2012 and the ICC Cricket World Cup in India in early 2013," said coach Richard McInnes on Cricket Australia's website.
"This will be the first trip to India for all of these players so the aim is to give them exposure to playing and adapting to Indian conditions as well as to support some of our key on field development areas.
"We have a strong focus on becoming better at playing spin, as women's cricket in all formats is heavily influenced by slow bowlers. There is no better place to learn how to play spin than India.
"Complimenting that is learning to bowl in conditions that are not seam and pace friendly, the conditions which suit our attack. While the wickets in India have certainly changed over the past 10 to 20 years, it is still an ideal environment to challenge our players and extend their skills."
