Women’s T20 WC: Willing To Put My Hand Up As An All-rounder, Says Shafali Verma
ICC T20 World Cup: Asserting that she now considers herself a complete all-rounder, opener Shafali Verma said she is ready to raise her hand and deliver in any situation as India look to put their semifinal aspirations on track when they take the field for a crucial 2026 Women's T20 World Cup Group A match against Bangladesh.
Shafali had impressive figures of 1-22 in her four overs against South Africa at the Old Trafford Cricket Ground, though India lost by six wickets and got their first defeat in the 12-team competition. A win over Bangladesh on Thursday will help them be in contention for entering the semi-finals.
“Yes, I would say I am an all-rounder now. In domestic cricket, playing for Haryana, I have always tried to bowl, as a captain too, and used to think about what I could do if I got a chance to bowl for the Indian team. I had prepared for it and worked hard. That is why I could execute well. As a player, I would like to put my hand up and serve the team in a given situation,” said Shafali in the pre-match press conference on Wednesday.
