NEW DELHI: India women’s team captain Harmanpreet Kaur expressed the team’s primary objective to win the ICC Women’s T20 World Cup 2024.
“It’s something we have been striving for as a team, and lifting the trophy remains our primary goal,” she stated.
Kaur emphasized the team’s determination and drive, ensuring they’ll leave no stone unturned in their quest, playing a fearless style of cricket.
“Our expectation is straightforward: to bring glory to the country and our supporters, who back us unconditionally no matter where we play,” ANI quoted Kaur as saying in an ICC media release.
Every match leading up to the Women’s T20 World Cup is seen as a chance for the team to showcase their best skills and inspire young cricketers globally.
“It is our team’s dream to win this coveted trophy, and I believe we have what it takes to do so. We reached the final of the 2020 Women’s T20 World Cup in Australia and came agonisingly close to making the final in the 2023 edition in South Africa. This shows that the team has the pedigree to succeed on the biggest stage,” Kaur highlighted.
Kaur also shared her excitement about playing in the UAE for the first time, looking forward to the experience.
“I am confident that crowds will come out in huge numbers as we play across Dubai and Sharjah,” she added.
The squad boasts a solid mix of experience, with players who have competed globally and faced challenging situations, Kaur noted. Young team members, despite being in their early 20s, have already gained significant experience.
“The new faces in the squad bring enthusiasm and a willingness to learn, which adds a dynamic energy to the team,” she said.
Kaur praised the camaraderie within the group and the mutual respect the players hold for one another. She mentioned the strong support system in place, ensuring no one is left behind. She also credited the support staff for fostering a positive environment around the team.
“Our preparations for this tournament began immediately after the last edition of the Women’s T20 World Cup concluded,” Kaur stated.
The team has a clear vision, and each member has the freedom to prepare in a way that best supports overall success, she explained. Fitness is key, and all players have embraced its importance, recognizing its impact on their performance.
While strategies will vary depending on the opposition, the team’s main focus remains on playing to their strengths and maximizing their potential, according to the release.
