“Especially in T20, you need good all-rounders when you play top teams like England and Australia. With players contributing in both departments, India has built a strong team over the past six months.
During the U-19 World Cup, we saw Shafali take a couple of wickets. She bowled short spells well. Pooja has scored big runs in domestic cricket and has also scored a few half-centuries for India.
She has the potential to be a power hitter at the World Cup,” stated former India coach Tushar Arothe, who is now the batting coach for Gujarat Giants of the WPL.
