Ganguly based his argument on the emergence of the Women's Premier League, a pool of talented players like Harmanpreet Kaur and Smriti Mandhana and the team바카라s good efforts in some global events of late.

바카라The progress the women바카라s cricket in India has made since 2019 is, perhaps, more than the men바카라s team. The men바카라s team has always been very good.

바카라But from where the women바카라s team was to where they went -- from winning the Asia Cup, the way they played in the World Cups. They were the best team in the Commonwealth Games (runners-up in 2022),바카라 Ganguly told Jio Cinema.

바카라Harmanpreet, Smriti, you name them, Richa, Jemimah, Shafali, the way they have progressed is impressive.바카라

Ganguly was also effusive in his praise for young pacer Renuka Singh.

바카라When Jhulan (Goswami) finished, we thought where the next seamer would come from, and then Renuka (Singh) Thakur has developed over the last three years. So, that바카라s the best thing about women바카라s cricket,바카라 said the former BCCI president.

Ganguly, the Director of Cricket at the Delhi Capitals, was delighted to see the side picking up some talented Indian players from the recent WPL auction.

바카라I think Ashwani Kumari is someone who they (DC) kept an eye on because she can hit the ball a long way and she bowls.

We needed a backup keeper, so we got another keeper. We had three slots to fill, we knew one would always be the most important one and we got (Annabel) Sutherland,바카라 said Ganguly.

The Capitals had purchased Australian cricketer Sutherland for Rs 2 crore from the recent player auction held in Mumbai.
