A month after their Women’s ODI World Cup victory, India is set to start the T20I series against Sri Lanka at the ACA-VDCA Stadium on Sunday. India’s captain, Harmanpreet Kaur, highlighted the series’ significance as crucial preparation for the upcoming T20 World Cup scheduled in England from June 12 to July 5. With only 11 T20Is scheduled before the global event, India aims to establish rhythm and momentum. Following their early exit at the 2024 T20 World Cup, India has embraced a more aggressive approach, evident from recent series wins against the West Indies and England.
Harmanpreet emphasized the team’s focus on the next T20 World Cup and the importance of playing numerous T20 matches in preparation. The series against Sri Lanka presents an opportunity for new players to gain experience and understand the team’s strategy for the upcoming World Cup. Notable changes in the squad include the inclusion of Vaishnavi Sharma and G. Kamalini in place of Radha Yadav and Uma Chetry.
India’s objective is to fine-tune their performance and adapt to the T20I format, which the team particularly enjoys. Harmanpreet stressed the team’s commitment to building on their recent achievements while staying focused on the upcoming World Cup. The familiarity with the Visakhapatnam pitch, where India played ODI World Cup matches against South Africa and Australia, provides an added advantage for the team in the upcoming series.
