England women will use the tri-series with India and Australia to hone their plans for the World Twenty20 in November, says captain Heather Knight.
England have three uncapped players in their squad and play their first game against Australia in Mumbai on Friday.
“Success or failure might not necessarily be seen on the field,” Knight told BBC Sport.
“We want to win and we will be judged on that, but success might also be finding out about players.”
Opener Bryony Smith made a half-century in a warm-up win against India A, and 18-year-old left-arm pace bowler Katie George followed up with a hat-trick in a second victory against the same opponents.
The pair, alongside all-rounder Alice Davidson-Richards, could make their debuts against Australia, who successfully chased India’s 152-5 with 11 balls to spare for a six-wicket win on Thursday.
England, the 50-over world champions, will be without pace bowler Anya Shrubsole, who has a shoulder injury, while wicketkeeper Amy Jones is a doubt because of illness.
“It’s about seeing if there are some youngsters that can fill some areas where we haven’t been so strong in T20 recently,” said 27-year-old Knight.
“They have been training with us throughout the winter and they are here because they have impressed. They have started brilliantly in the warm-up games and they are pushing for selection.”
