Australia's all-conquering women cricketers have started training with pink balls in preparation for a likely day-night Test against India in Mumbai.

The famed Wankhede Stadium is set to host a Test in December in what would be India's first long-form women's international since 2013.

Mumbai hosted Australia's most recent women's Test in India way back in February 1984.

India and Australia played out a draw at Carrara on the Gold Coast in a day-night Test in October 2021.

"I think the coaches thought it could be a good chance just to have a try with the pink balls," emerging all-rounder Annabel Sutherland said on Wednesday.

"We had a Test on the Gold Coast and weren't able to get a lot of preparation for that just because of the short notice for the series and with COVID [restrictions].

"Any chance you get to play in India is one that you look forward to."

Sutherland, who turns 22 on Thursday, when Australia host the West Indies in an ODI at the Junction Oval in Melbourne, is eager for more time in the middle but will continue biding her time down the order.

Already with a Test and ODI century to her name, Sutherland has been down to bat at number seven in the matches against the Windies so far this summer.

Australia have such depth with bat and ball that players who can open for their state and in franchise cricket regularly get relegated to the lower order.
