WBBL stint will count when we are back playing for India, says Smriti Mandhana

The Hindu  

Sydney Thunder opening batter Smriti Mandhana believed the participation of Indian players in the Women's Big Bash will definitely count for something once they are back playing for India. "We have a World Cup coming up and we don't have a BBL in our country, so it will be of benefit and a lot of experience for the eight girls in the comp and that experience will definitely count when we are back playing for India," she added. In the ongoing WBBL season, there are eight Indian players who are taking part - Shafali Verma, Mandhana, Jemimah Rodrigues, Poonam Yadav, Radha Yadav, Richa Ghosh, Harmanpreet Kaur, and Deepti Sharma. Before the WBBL, the Indian players were in Australia to take part in the multi-format series, which the Indian side ended up losing, but not after showing a fighting spirit in all the matches.
