‘Raised the bar…’: Harmanpreet Kaur speaks about clarity of roles being important for Indian players

Indian team's captain Harmanpreet Kaur highlighted the importance of having the roles being clear for the players as they aim for the ODI World Cup- that is set to be held here later this year. Following their maiden T20I series in England, the Women in Blue will now face the English team for three One-Day matches.

“As a captain, it's going to be very exciting. The last time when we played (in 2013), that time, I feel women's cricket was not that famous, but now we have raised the bar and the kind of fan following we have right now, it's going to be very exciting for all of us,” Harmanpreet told the media on Monday. If I talk about the past 2-3 years... right now, everything is quite settled and everybody knows their roles, what they're going to do and (understand about) their positions," Harmanpreet said.

"A lot of clarity is there comparatively to what we had previously. As a team and as a player, that's very important. When you are playing for your country, you always want to know your roles (and have) your clarity. I think that is there and all (the) credit goes to our team and our staff,” she added.

“We have increased the fielding and fitness load, the results are visible,” she later said while pointing that increased workload has led to positive results on the field.
