Women's T20 WC: When You Play For India, There Are No Excuses, Says Smriti Mandhana
T20 World Cup: Ahead of India’s campaign starting in the Women’s T20 World Cup on October 4 against New Zealand, vice-captain Smriti Mandhana said there are no excuses on offer when someone is playing for the country at the international level.
India will also play an afternoon game against Pakistan at the Dubai International Stadium on October 6. “The afternoon game is going to be a challenge due to the heat, but when you play for India, there are no excuses. You have to prepare well, and I think we have a couple of afternoon sessions lined up to help us get used to the conditions.”
"By the time we face Pakistan, I’m sure we’ll be ready. Mentally, we need to stay strong and keep pushing, staying hydrated is key. It hasn’t been easy. Coming from India, we are somewhat used to the heat compared to other teams, but the first couple of days were really tiring.
