Even harleen

While Smriti Mandhana: Ahead of the ODI series against England, India captain Harmanpreet Kaur has welcomed a rare and welcome dilemma—one of abundance.

For a long time, the Indian women's team has grappled with a lack of depth and role clarity. But now, with multiple players stepping up across departments, Harmanpreet calls it a “healthy headache” as she prepares to field a side brimming with form and options.

“After a long time, we're having a healthy headache of having to pick the best team,” Harmanpreet said at the pre-match press conference in Southampton. “Earlier, we didn't have so many options. Credit to Shafali [Verma] and Pratika [Rawal] for the kind of performances they've put in. Even Harleen (Deol), whenever she's got the opportunity, she has shown she can also take the responsibility for the team.”
