Captain Harmanpreet Kaur would like to test the Indian women's team's pace-bowling resources, including rookie seamer Kashvee Gautam, when it takes on hosts Sri Lanka in the opening tri-series match here on Sunday.

The tournament, also including South Africa, kicks off the Women In Blue's preparations for the 50-over World Cup which will be held in India later this year and the bowling composition will be key. The batting department bears a settled look.

Kashvee, a former India U-19 Women's T20 World Cup winner, was a revelation for Gujarat Giants in the Women's Premier League, in which she picked up 11 wickets in nine games at an economy rate of 6.45.
