India women’s team will look forward to ending their ICC trophy draught as they embark on the T20 World Cup 2024 journey. The tournament is scheduled to commence on October 3 in the United Arab Emirates. The mega event was shifted from Bangladesh as the country was embroiled in political unrest. The venue change meant several teams tweaking their team combinations, but the Indian team has kept their team intact.
India is one of the few teams with a balanced ratio of pacers to spinners, and the wickets in the UAE may help spinners. Poonam Yadav, a former cricketer for India, offered his thoughts on the lineup of the Indian team. She supported wrist-spinner Asha Shobana in particular to be included in the playing XI. Wrist spinners, she continued, may rotate the ball on any track.
Captain Harmanpreet Kaur might choose to field one or two spinners in his team if the dew factor increases. Despite her apparent faith in the pacers, she might also use wrist-spinner Asha Shobana because of the bounce on the ground. Shobana stated that wrist spinners are normally slower in pace but are capable of turning the ball on any kind of track.

Without a doubt, Deepti Sharma will be crucial to the success of India’s bowling assault. Both Asha Shobana and Deepti Sharma might be featured in the starting eleven. It is probable that Harmanpreet Kaur will predominantly depend on pacers, considering her inclination towards them,” the speaker continued.
With her game-winning strike for the Mumbai Indians against the Delhi Capitals in the Women’s Premier League, Shobana attracted a lot of attention. She has represented India Women in two ODIs and as many T20Is.

In every format, she has taken four wickets. Against South Africa in the just finished multi-format series, the 33-year-old was excellent. She took four wickets in Bengaluru’s opening One-Day International.
