&ldquo;When we won the last Test back in 2006 (in Taunton), we were told that we were not going to play anymore Test matches. I don&rsquo;t know how many more years of cricket is left in me but I am happy that I have played one more Test before hanging my boots,&rdquo; an emotional skipper Mithali said at the post match presentation.
Mithali has played only nine Tests but have played 148 ODIs and 46 Twenty20 Internationals. &ldquo;As a cricketer, you would always want to play more number of Test matches as it tests all areas of one&rsquo;s game, including mental aspect,&rdquo; she said.
Central contract While the England&rsquo;s women cricketers come under ECB&rsquo;s central contract system, Mithali hopes that such performances on foreign soil will help them prepare a case for the BCCI.
