The BCCI, which formally took control of women's cricket in India earlier this week, says the competition will be held in Chennai and will run from February 12 to 25.

The four participating countries are the hosts India, New Zealand, England and Australia. As well as having home advantage, India will warm up for the tournament through December's Asia Cup. The cup, which is in its third year, comprises the holders India, Pakistan and Sri Lanka and will take place in Jaipur from December 12.

Australia, though, will be strong contenders, too, having recently beaten New Zealand 5-0 to retain the Rosebowl with ease, and are the current holders of the World Cup.
