Stand-in skipper Smriti Mandhana yesterday stressed on giving players a long run to prove their mettle in the Indian women's team and insisted that the time is not right for experimentation.

India handed Harleen Deol her T20I debut in the first match against England, which the hosts lost by 41 runs. "If you look at the number of matches they have played, it's six to eight. I don't think it is the right time to experiment. We will have to stick with the same batting order to look forward to, giving them more game time for them to prove," Mandhana said.
