The Indian women's cricket team is gearing up to defend their title at the Women's T20 World Cup starting June 12 in England. Jemimah Rodrigues, a key player, stated that the team's preparation began immediately after their historic 2025 World Cup victory. Rodrigues emphasized that rather than becoming complacent, the team is even more determined to win again. The squad, led by captain Harmanpreet Kaur, features a mix of experienced players and newcomers, including Nandani Sharma and Bharti Fulmali, who have earned their first World Cup call-ups. Despite a recent 1-4 series loss to South Africa, Rodrigues believes the experience will strengthen their resolve. Coach Amol Muzumdar acknowledged the challenge of injuries, particularly the absence of all-rounder Amanjot Kaur, but remains confident in the team's preparation and adaptability for the tournament. Rodrigues also expressed a vision for a future where India becomes a sports-loving nation, not just a sports-playing one.
