Return To Indian T20I Team Is What I Had Been Waiting For, Says GG’s Bharti Fulmali
Sant Gajanan Cricket Academy: Seven years is a long time in cricket. For Bharti Fulmali, it felt even longer. The big-hitting middle-order batter from Amravati had made her India T20I debut against England in Guwahati in 2019. She impressed early by charging down the pitch to hit Laura Marsh for a boundary on her third ball in international cricket, but managed only 18 and 5 in two outings before being left out.
As the years rolled by, Bharti, who holds a job with the Income Tax Department, resigned herself to the fact that her international career might be over before it had truly begun. But on January 17, when the Gujarat Giants landed in Vadodara after wrapping up their Navi Mumbai leg of WPL 2026, the BCCI named Bharti in India’s squad for the T20I series in Australia in February, a development which took her by surprise.
"We just boarded the bus after landing in Vadodara, and that's when my teammates came and shouted behind me, 'Congratulations,' and then I got to know that this happened. I actually didn't even know before that such a team was to be announced or that I had been selected.
