GG, who reached the playoffs for the first time in the 2025 WPL, have undergone an intensive pre-season camp in Mumbai and will look to build on that in the upcoming season. \u201cQualifying for the playoffs for the first time in WPL history was a fantastic achievement for Gujarat, but this season is a fresh start. Every team begins on an even playing field, and starting well is important as it helps build confidence within the group.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\u201cWe\u2019re here to win the competition, but we\u2019re also here to enjoy the journey and focus on player development. Over the next month, our aim is that every player finishes this tournament as a better cricketer than when they arrived.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\u201cFrom the way the group has trained over the last four or five days, I have no doubt it will be a successful season, both in terms of results and individual growth,\u201d Klinger said in a franchise release.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Klinger also highlighted the squad\u2019s depth, particularly among all-rounders, which he believes will create healthy competition for places. \u201cWe\u2019re going to have some selection headaches when it comes to picking our best XI, and that\u2019s always a good thing. We\u2019ve got genuine depth and plenty of options, particularly because of the number of high-quality all-rounders in the squad. When we looked at the most successful teams over the last few seasons, one common factor was the presence of strong all-rounders.\u201d<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\u201cBringing in players like Sophie Devine, and Kim Garth as a bowling all-rounder, has strengthened us further. With six overseas players, choosing the four to start the season will be challenging because they\u2019re all high-quality cricketers, but it\u2019s a problem we\u2019re very happy to have,\u201d he added.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

\u201cHappy brings genuine raw pace, something you don\u2019t see too often in the women\u2019s game, while Bharti, though slightly more experienced than the others, offers real quality and power. Shivani also adds depth as a batter and can double up as a wicketkeeper. Overall, we\u2019re in a strong position, and the WPL will give them opportunities to step up at different stages of the tournament,\u201d he concluded.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
