“In the scheme of things every player knows where they stand. What are their future and present,” Powar said.
“We don’t expect them to communicate differently… because look at the five selectors, captain, and coach at the end of it, they have discussed all the players and we have come up with 18 players who can play well in the new season. In the New Zealand series as well as the World Cup,” he said.
India selected a 15-man squad and three reserves for the New Zealand tour, with pacers Meghna Singh and Renuka Singh and batsman Yastika Bhatia charged in Australia.
“You can’t pick everyone. Just 15 and then there are three standbys. And we were looking at certain things like fast bowlers like Renuka, Meghna, they were doing well. So if they are doing well, they should be in the upcoming There is going to be an opportunity in the matches.”
He added: “Again, the batting unit is similar to Yastika, Smriti, and Mithali so everyone is consistent so we didn’t change much.

Mithali Raj guided the team to the final edition in 2017, giving a huge boost to women’s cricket in India. Comparing that team and the current one, the experienced batsman said that the 2022 batch has more feeling because of the league in England and Australia.
“In the last four years, the standard in domestic cricket has improved in a big way. I have seen many players scoring centuries. Many girls have had the opportunity to play leagues abroad. So it gives a lot of exposure to many players. We have more all-rounders too,” said Mithali.
“First of all, if we have to tour the 2017 World Cup, where the team did well and scored 250-270 because there is at least one top-order bat that plays through the innings and everyone else is that batsman. revolve around. Mithali said.
“So it is important that the top order, one of them, takes the responsibility of playing through the innings and there should be a partnership or two out of 50… that way we will be able to score 250-270 runs,” said. Highest run-scorer in women’s cricket.
Mithali said, ‘I think you all give a lot of importance to strike rate. It is always spoken when it comes to fighting or putting up big totals. I just wanted to know if you all just follow the strike rate of Indian players or players of other teams.
“… because in the Australia series itself, the game that Australia won, the decider, Beth Mooney scored 50 off 80 oddballs, but she played a match-winning knock for her team. So to me, cricket is such a game. Which is played in conditions on the ground.
Mithali also said that all-rounder Pooja Vastrakar provided the X-factor to the team.
Harmanpreet Kaur, who won 171 matches against Australia in the 2017 World Cup semi-final, has scored just three fifty-plus scores. But Powar was confident that the senior batsman would do well in New Zealand.
