Overview
- Harmanpreet Kaur said the 2025 ODI World Cup win has lifted India’s belief to win anywhere, noting on Wednesday at a Delhi stand-naming event that the goal now is the T20 World Cup in England from June 12 to July 5.
- She credited head coach Amol Mazumdar for a frank team meeting after three early losses at the ODI World Cup, saying that session reset focus before India beat Australia in the semi-final and South Africa in the final.
- Reviewing a recent tour of Australia, she called the switch across T20Is, ODIs, and a pink-ball Test a tough but useful lesson, with India taking the T20I series 2–1 but losing the ODIs 0–3 and the Test.
- A stand at Delhi’s Omaxe Stadium now bears her name, which she called an emotional moment, while Omaxe’s managing director said formal recognition from India’s cricket board is still pending.
- Looking ahead to England, India are drawn with Australia, Pakistan, South Africa, Bangladesh, and the Netherlands in Group A, setting an early test against several top sides.
