Harris last played an ODI game in March 2024, but has been named in Australia\u2019s squad for the eight-team competition to be held in India and Sri Lanka from September 30 to November 2.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\"I must admit, the World Cup's a cheeky surprise selection. At the start of the year, I thought I won't make the ODI World Cup team because recently I haven't exactly been picked in Aus one-day teams or anything like that.\"<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\"There's probably (other) players that have performed and could put their hand up for selection \u2013 I wouldn't have been surprised, or I wouldn't have been shocked at being told, 'Oh, you're not going'. So I must admit, the ODI World Cup's probably a bit of a happy surprise,\" Grace was quoted as saying by cricket.com.au on Saturday.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
With the Australian squad set to depart for India on Wednesday to play a three-match ODI series against the Harmanpreet Kaur-led side ahead of the World Cup, Grace has expressed confidence over leaving a big impact as a finisher in the middle-to-lower order if a chance comes her way.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\"I think our one-day format and our one-day team is probably the most formidable and the most settled. If I'm going through the names, sometimes I think, 'Well, who's being kicked out for me?'\"<\/p>\r\n\r\n

\"It'll be great personal development for me training over there and then I guess if I'm fortunate enough to get an opportunity, of course, I want to take it with both hands and run with it. It would be good to play a game in the one-day World Cup \u2013 I went to New Zealand (in 2022) and didn't play a game,\" she added.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
