Australia women's batter Alyssa Healy said that it will be a challenge to prepare for the day-night Test against India considering they will be playing at a venue they have never played before and she has only played four matches in the longest format.

Australia women's wicketkeeper-batter Alyssa Healy said that she is looking at replicating what India's Rohit Sharma has done in trying to find success as an opener in all formats of the game. Healy will be part of the Australian team that faces India in a one-off day-night women's Test that starts on October 3.

The Indian women's team's tour of Australia starts on September 21 with a three-match ODI series, followed by the day-night Test and ends with a three-match T20I series, the last of which will be played on October 11. With the Test sandwiched between two limited overs series and the added factors like the pink ball and a venue where they have never played makes it challenging to prepare for the game, said Healy.

"It's a tricky one because I've only played four Tests so I wouldn't say I'm overly comfortable with how to play or how to approach a Test," Healy said at a Fox Cricket launch event for the series. "From my point of view, I don't think it's going to change too much from my one-day international batting. I think the ability to give yourself more time is such a blessing."

"I look at the modern Test game and see how it's changed quite a lot. I watch a lot of the men's cricket and I look at someone like Rohit Sharma who is one of the most devastating white-ball batters in the world and yet he's a really successful opener in Test cricket. So for me, I said look at somebody like him and think about how he translates those skills across all the formats, could I potentially replicate that somehow?"

Rohit has found success in Test cricket ever since he was promoted to the top of the order last year. In men's team's recent tour of England, Rohit was India's highest run scorer and scored his first overseas Test century.

Healy said that facing India can be tricky because of how little Australia know of them, particularly in Test cricket. "Sometimes a bit of the unknown and the unpredictable nature of India makes them incredibly dangerous. They've picked a few new players that we haven't seen before on this tour," Healy said. "So they always love throwing something new at us, even if it is Poonam Yadav, she always has something new to throw at us, just to kick us off track again."
