Women's cricket will be making its debut at the The 15-member team faced a minor setback before their departure to Birmingham, with two members of the team "We are all really excited to be part of the CWG for the first time. Women's cricket being a part of the event isn't really something we had expected. And to have it happen...we all were really happy about it," she said. "Frankly, I don't know what to expect, because when you go for a World Cup or a series, you know what to expect. But here, many other sports are also played. So, I don't know what to expect from it and I can't even ask anyone what we should expect, because there's no one else who's had this experience," said Smriti, a Nike athlete. Meg Lanning's no. 1-ranked Aussie side will be the one to beat in the 8-team event, but Smriti told The Quint she was confident that the Indian team could beat them if it's their day. "I think we have done pretty well against them in T20s, and in the first match we played in the 2020 World Cup, we won. So, I don't think we will look as if we can't beat them." "We will go with the mindset that we have beaten them before. We will try to do the same thing and just play good cricket. T20 cricket is all about whether it's your day, whether you have a good day on a given day. In T20 cricket, it is not always about who you are playing, but about clicking on a given day," said the Indian team's vice-captain.

A former world No. 1 ODI batter in the ICC women’s cricket rankings, Smriti Mandhana is also the youngest captain of the Indian cricket team - men’s or women’s. Following on a brother’s footsteps Smriti Mandhana was born in Mumbai on July 18, 1996, but when she was two years old, her family moved to the Madhavnagar suburbs of Sangli, Maharashtra, where she spent her formative years. Her father Shrinivas was a chemical distributor by profession while mother Smita was a housewife. Cricket was always a part of the Mandhana household with her father having played at district level. Her brother Shravan also played cricket and went on to represent the Maharashtra U-19 team before stepping away from the game and eventually becoming a banker. Though Shravan didn’t continue with cricket, his presence in Smriti Mandhana’s life was hugely influential to her becoming a cricketer. It was during her trips to the practice grounds with her brother, four years older than her, that the passion for cricket sparked in a young Smriti. The sparks slowly turned into dreams once her brother started doing well at junior levels and his name used to appear...
