NEW DELHI (Reuters) - The India women's team will play their maiden pink-ball test later this year, against Australia in Perth, cricket boards of both the countries announced on Thursday.

Mithali Raj's team will take on Meg Lanning's squad at the WACA ground from Sept. 30 in what will be only the second day-night test in women's cricket, following Australia's drawn 2017 match against England in Sydney.
