India women team's new head coach Amol Muzumdar wants his players to play 'fearless cricket' while also making it clear that there would be no compromise on fitness and fielding, ahead of the three-match T20I series against England beginning in Mumbai on Wednesday. ()
"We need to play a certain brand of cricket, which we have been known for so far. Fearless cricket is something which I have always advocated. We would be playing that brand of cricket," Muzumdar told reporters on Tuesday ahead of the team's training session at the Wankhede Stadium.
"Shafali (Verma) and Jemimah (Rodrigues) are both very important cog in the wheel. I would like them to continue what they have been doing."
Muzumdar said that every step taken from hereon will be important as the team has embarked on its preparations for next year바카라s T20 World Cup (September-October 2024 in Bangladesh).
바카라We are moving towards the World Cup. Every series and match will have its own importance. The series against England and Australia will count a lot,바카라 said Muzumdar who is starting his coaching stint with the women바카라s national team during the three-match T20I series against England.
바카라We had a chat about it with the team and they (players) are all raring to go. Every step that we take (hereon) is (about) moving towards the World Cup.
"England and Australia will be a superb series to start the preparations (for the World Cup). (Both) will be tough series (and) will give us an indication of where we are. Going forward, the tougher the opposition, the better it is,바카라 he said.

After the contest against England, India face Australia in another home series.
Muzumdar said there will not be any compromise on fielding and fitness standards, as parameters have been set and are being followed already.
바카라Fielding and fitness are of highest priority. There is no compromise on fielding or fitness. There will be a lot of camps post this series 바카라 a lot of cricket will be played 바카라 at NCA or some other place,바카라 he said.
바카라That means more exposure. All the fringe and new players will also get an opportunity.바카라
India바카라s record of only seven wins in 27 matches against England in T20Is (home and away) does not bother the new coach who has urged his team to leave the past behind.
"As a team, we have decided to leave the statistics and whatever has happened behind us. We are looking forward to a fresh start,바카라 said the domestic batting stalwart.
바카라The numbers are there to be seen, but these girls and the team are looking forward to the season ahead. We are not going to go back in history 바카라 of course it is important 바카라 but at the same time, it is also important to look forward to the season ahead. They are all raring to go.바카라
Muzumdar informed that Troy Cooley has been named the bowling coach for the series against England (three T20Is, one Test) and Australia (one Test, three T20Is and three ODIs).
He said women바카라s cricket in India is on the 바카라cusp of something big바카라 with the inaugural Women바카라s Premier League garnering a lot of response from the fans.
바카라It was a fantastic advertisement for women바카라s cricket last year. We all saw how many people turned up for the game. We all are on the cusp of getting it big in women바카라s cricket. The crowd turning up for the game is absolutely a boost for everyone,바카라 he said.
