Youngsters given ample game time, we now know where they fit in team ahead of WC, says Mithali Raj

India TV News  

Highlights Harmanpreet Kaur will be India's designated vice-captain at the World Cup. Indian captain Mithali Raj feels youngsters like Shafali Verma and Richa Ghosh have shown that they have the ability to compete at the highest level and the last few series have helped the team figure out its composition ahead of the women's ODI World Cup next month. "I definitely know my playing composition for the first couple of games and I look forward to giving game time to all the core players during the warm-up and also to those players who will get an opportunity at some point in the world cup." "The only advice I would give the young players is to enjoy the big stage because if you pile up the pressure you may not be playing the best that the team and you would want to do in the World Cup." However, the skipper confirmed senior batter Harmanpreet Kaur, who roared back to form with a match-winning 63-run knock, will be India's designated vice-captain at the World Cup.
