Indian women's T20 captain Harmanpreet Kaur is happy to play a host of matches, something that they have missed all these years with considerable gap between two international series.

Indian women have been playing non-stop for nearly two months now after their twin series win in South Africa followed by disappointing defeat against Australia in ODIs and now the T20 tri-series.

Asked whether fatigue factor is likely to creep in, Harmnapreet replied in the negative.

"No, not at all (the team is not feeling fatigued). We are all enjoying the back-to-back games. We were expecting this from the BCCI," Harmanpreet told reporters on eve of team's clash against England women.

She said this was a learning experience for the girls.

"This is a learning experience for us. Earlier, we were not used to getting back-to-back games. There used to be a six to eight month gap between two series. Any individual will not be able to settle down in a particular role," Harmanpreet explained.

"When you play so many games in quick succession, you know how to make a comeback quickly. The team is not fatigued. Everybody is fit. Playing back-to-back matches is quite an experience," explained the hard-hitting right-handed batter.

Harmapreet said vice-captain Smriti Mandhana's form is a big positive for them.

The hosts lost the lung-opener of the tri-series by six wickets as Australia dominated with both the bat and ball.

"Winning and losing are part and parcel of the game. When we win, the mistakes get covered up while after defeat, the good things are hidden."
