DY Patil Stadium: Australia Women are a team in transition following the retirement of long-time captain Meg Lanning, key batter Rachael Haynes and the departure of head coach Matthew Mott. But India skipper Harmanpreet Kaur said they can't take their opponents lightly in the multi-format series between the two teams starting with the only Test at the Wankhede Stadium on Thursday.

Lanning, Haynes and Mott, who has since moved to England as Head Coach of their men's white-ball team, were part of the Australia team when it played India in a one-off Test two years back Down Under. That match, a day/night pink-ball game played at the Carrara Oval, ended in a draw.

Harmanpreet said Australia were still well-balanced and still the best team in the World and India can't take them lightly.
