Focus would be trained on in-form opener Smriti Mandhana when she leads the Board President's XI in a warm-up match against the visiting England women's team here on Monday.

The match is being played at the Wankhede Stadium and Mandhana, who is being helped by team coach W V Raman to build up her patience, would be keen to put the lessons learnt into practice before plunging into the series opener here next Friday. Mandhana recently scored 196 runs in the three- match ODI series against hosts New Zealand, including a 100 and 90.
