'Harmanpreet Has Not Bowled But..': Amol Muzumdar Hints Indian Skipper Might Roll Her Arms At T20 World Cup

Indian women's cricket team head coach Amol Muzumdar has said that although skipper Harmanpreet Kaur has not bowled in a while, she has enough experience on her side to bowl in the crucial stages of the game. She hasn't rolled her arms over in any of the 15 T20Is that India have played this year, with her other bowlers capable enough to do the job on most occasions. Harmanpreet and her ladies will begin their campaign at the Women's T20 World Cup on Friday with a game against New Zealand. Coach Muzumdar is paying a lot of attention to the sixth bowling option in the team, with an extra option always proving handy in the shortest format. "Yeah, I mean, we've paid a lot of attention to the sixth bowling option. Also, for a fact that we have had multiple discussions on our top six, within our top six, at least three to four have to bowl," Muzumdar said while speaking at the pre-match press conference. "And if we can get those overs out of them, then you know, nothing like it. And all of them could bowl. So, it's just a question of applying and just putting in those hard yards in the nets and then converting that into a performance," Muzumdar added. "So, I think, yeah, Harman hasn't bowled, but I think she bowled in the second T20 warm-ups. And she's experienced enough to bowl those overs," the coach said. In the second warm-up against South Africa, Harmanpreet bowled just one over and gave away two runs. The Indian skipper has picked 32 wickets in 62 T20Is where she has bowled. Harmanpreet also has a best haul of 4/23 against the Windies in March 2016. Against New Zealand, she has bowled in five T20Is but hasn't picked a wicket.
