The Indian women’s cricket team is going on a tour of Sri Lanka. Experienced players Jhulan Goswami and Mithali Raj will not be part of the team on this tour. Captain Harmanpreet gave this answer. Harmanpreet believes this will be a great opportunity for the team. India’s most successful batswoman, Mithali, recently announced her retirement, while fast pitcher Jhulan has not been selected in the team.
Harmanpreet said: “We are working hard in our team, we have the best combination. We’re going without the older players for the first time, so this is a good tour for us from a fresh start perspective. This is a great opportunity for all of us to team up. I don’t think Sri Lanka is an easy tour for us.
Harmanpreet, who has been at the helm of the T20 International team for a long time, has been entrusted with the responsibility of the ODI team. He emphasized giving opportunities to the youngsters on the team. The Indian captain said: “We will give opportunities to young players who can field well and try to take wickets consistently in 10-over bowling. We try to do small things. We have worked on these things in the NCA (National Cricket Academy) and we have a vision, we will try to take it to the field.
India will play three ODIs and as many T20Is in this tour starting June 23. On this occasion, when Harmanpreet was asked who would replace Mithali in the team, she said: “We all know that she (Mithali) has done very well in women’s cricket and I don’t think anyone can take this place.” If you are talking about Mithali Di, I don’t think there is anyone who can replace her.
He said the team will try to score 300 runs in ODIs on this tour. Harmanpreet said: “We had planned to do this at the World Cup, but we could hit the scores of 270, 280 there. But on this tour we will try to score more than 300 runs.
