Indian women’s T20I captain Harmanpreet Kaur, who missed the ODI series and the one-off day-night Test against Australia due to a thumb injury, has fully recovered and is raring to go in the three-match T20I series, beginning in Gold Coast today. Kaur, 32, insisted that she has been practising well in the nets across the last few days and is all geared up for the series.
“Initially, when I got injured, I was not able to even hold the bat or field. Only since the second or third day of the Test [last Friday and Saturday] have things got better and I was able to bat in the nets. It was very disappointing to miss the Test. But, the support staff have taken good care of me to help me ready for the T20Is,” Kaur said during the pre-match virtual press conference in reply to mid-day’s question on how she overcame her injury. The injury period was tough, but it has also taught Kaur a lot, she said, and has even helped her gain confidence ahead of the T20I series.
