Former India captain Mithali Raj has been impressed by the standard of Cricket displayed at the ICC Women’s T20 World Cup 2023.
“The group stages of the ICC Women’s T20 World Cup 2023 have shown just how far the women’s game has advanced. All players understand the importance of having two and three-dimensional players now. Players with only one side to their game are not as desired in today’s game,” Raj told the ICC.
“Only players like exceptional talent like Meg Lanning, Smriti Mandana and a few others who are extraordinary batters can thrive or a Darcy Brown or Shabmin Ismail who can clock 120 plus . Everyone else has developed their skillset and added to their overall game,” she said.
“It’s very exciting to think that we have two more T20 World Cups on the horizon. By then, the women’s standard will definitely be two to three notches higher. All those players who have burst onto the international scene this time will be more experienced players by then. We have players like Alice Capsey from England, Richa Ghosh from India, and Renuka Thakur, who may be a little older but only came into the side last year,” she said.
