Team India skipper Harmanpreet Kaur on Thursday (January 4) said quick fixes in the fielding and fitness department were not possible but her team will plug those gaps eventually with the help of a recently appointed full-time support staff. The team has struggled with fielding and fitness issues for a long time.
“If we talk about the team’s performance, we are playing very good cricket in patches. Fielding and fitness are something that we have been talking about for a long time. We have been working on it too,” Kaur told the media.
Harmanpreet Kaur also said India must focus on reducing errors on the field in order to improve overall performance. “It is a good thing that we are getting to play against a good team (Australia and England) and test ourselves against them. If we are able to cut down the errors day-by-day, the team’s performance will be better,” she said.
With an eye on the T20 World Cup later this year, the Indian women’s cricket team will be vying for all-round improvement against six-time world champions Australia when the two sides clash in a three-match series starting in Mumbai on Friday.
