Putting T20 WC behind her, Rodrigues ready for new learnings

CHENNAI: For Jemimah Rodrigues and the Indian women's cricket team, the month of October in Dubai was not that kind. An early exit from the T20 World Cup meant the ODI series against recently crowned World Champions New Zealand came with an emotional baggage. However, with the crucial ODI series against Australia and eventually another World Cup, that too on home soil coming up in 2025, the team wants to forget about it and move on. "If I can be very frank, we didn't play the best cricket that we should have played as an Indian team and each one of us knew that it's still hurting all of us," Rodrigues, currently playing as an overseas international with Brisbane Heat in the Women's Big Bash League, told media from Brisbane.
