After the ODI series against New Zealand, Shafali was omitted from the 50-over set-up for series against Australia, West Indies and Ireland. She was not even included for T20Is against West Indies in Navi Mumbai.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
It meant Shafali was back to playing domestic cricket, and finished as leading run-getter in the Senior Women's One-Day Challenger Trophy, amassing 414 runs in five matches at an average of 82.80 and a strike rate of 145.26, including hitting one hundred and three fifties.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\"To be honest, the past few months have been tough for me. My father suffered a heart attack, and just a couple of days later, I was dropped from the ODI squad. So, it was a mentally difficult phase, but my father encouraged me, and my family stood by me throughout.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\u201cI\u2019ve realised that my job is to score runs whenever I get the opportunity, and that\u2019s where I want to focus. The only thing in my control is my preparation, if I train well and score runs, I know I can come back stronger,\" said Shafali in a statement issued by the franchise on Friday.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
With DC set to start their WPL 2025 campaign on February 15 against Mumbai Indians in Vadodara, they will be aiming to go one step further after consecutive runners-up finishers. Shafali shared on the side\u2019s preparation for WPL 2025 happening in the pre-tournament camp in Pune and talked about how this competition has given tons of learning opportunities to Indian players.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\u201cThe preparations are going in full swing. The atmosphere here is really good and everyone is gelling up quite well. The players get to play a good number of matches in WPL. You get some very good opportunities to make small tweaks here and there in your game.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
