Women's T20 World Cup 2024: India prepared for anything and everything, says coach Amol Muzumdar
"We have ticked all the boxes as far as preparation is concerned," the Indian coach asserted.
The ninth installment of the Women's T20 World Cup is less than 10 days from commencing with Bangladesh taking on Scotland to get the proceedings underway.
India head coach, Amol Muzumdar, seemed confident of the team's preparation for the global event. He went into the specifics of what the camp at the National Cricket Academy in Benglauru entailed. He was also happy that the idea of acquiring a sports psychologist turned out to be a fruitful move. The former domestic cricketer was assured of the team not leaving one box unticked in terms of groundwork.
"We did identify a few things (after the loss to Sri Lanka in the Women's Asia Cup final) and we went about in the subsequent camp. We first had a fitness and fielding camp. Then we had a 10-day skills-only camp. We brought in a sports psychologist also (Mughda Bawre). She has been fantastic with the group. We focused on enhancing athletic ability, all-round fielding abilities, there were yoga sessions and psychological sessions which were added. We are prepared for everything. In the skills camp, we had nets and five games in 10 days' time. We have ticked all the boxes as far as preparation is concerned," stated Muzumdar.

Speaking on the team, Muzumdar displayed complete trust in the top and middle-order of the team. He also opened up on the much-debated number three role, but kept the cards close to his chest.
"Our top six is the best. Their styles and mannerisms are different. Number three, we have identified but we will reveal that when eleven is announced. In T20s, number three sets game the up, in any form actually," added Muzumdar.
