Pratika received her debut cap from team captain Harmanpreet Kaur ahead of the fixture against Thailand on August 30 and made 22. She will be looking to get a bigger score when her turn to bat comes against Hong Kong-China at the Dubai International Stadium. <\/p>\r\n\r\n
\"It actually feels like a privilege to be able to stand here playing all three formats. This is what I've always wanted to do as a young kid, and to be able to stand here, getting my debut cap from the captain, it feels great. It feels like a privilege. It feels like a blessing, and I think back home people are happier than me,\" Rawal said to broadcasters before the match began.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
India's middle order came under scrutiny in their tournament opener after suffering a collapse in the last ten overs. Addressing strategies to prevent similar batting slumps, Pratika said the importance of preserving wickets will be key to getting dominant totals.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\"I think just go with the flow, just assess the conditions, what are the various areas that we can score in. Definitely, we would love to play with a lot of wickets in hand and would love to go for a big total here.\"<\/p>\r\n\r\n

With international calendar demands rising, Pratika, who came into the squad as a replacement for injured Jemimah Rodrigues, stated her focus remains squarely on maximising every chance presented to establish herself across all three formats. \"I'm on my toes. I would love to get a lot of opportunities here. I would love to score a lot of runs here, and my prime focus is to contribute as much as I can for the team.\"<\/p>\r\n\r\n
