Campaign Review: Why India’s campaign did not work out?

The campaign never got off to a good start. India were hampered by lower-order batting, tactical mistakes in selection and a lack of team combination. This time’s failure is far more painful than the team that reached the semi-finals in the last World Cup.

India's disappointing journey from Women's T20 World Cup: What next?

The team now has time to ponder over key questions:

Camp vs A-tour exposure
The Indian selectors and management focused on skill and fitness camps rather than getting the players on A-tours or playing domestic cricket. While this is important, during this time some players, such as Pooja Vastrakar, Radha Yadav and Arundhati Reddy, missed out on the opportunity to be sent on the India A tour of Australia. Missing out on this opportunity could prove to be a big mistake.

Batting challenges
The lower-order batting has been a big concern for the team. The Indian lower order did not get much exposure in the games against South Africa and Bangladesh, leaving their preparations for the World Cup incomplete. In the group stage, the Indian batsmen were not able to give their best under pressure.

Way forward: Preparation for the 50-over World Cup

Although the team’s 2024 Women’s T20 World Cup campaign is over, the 50-over World Cup is to be held on home ground next year. To perform better in this World Cup, the team will have to work on its weaknesses. Harmanpreet Kaur has this opportunity to accept this challenge and give a new direction to the Indian team and prepare the team for a better performance in the 50-over World Cup.

This is a time of introspection for the Indian women’s team. While the team’s performance has been mixed in the last few months, after this failure it has become clear that the team needs to reorganize itself at both strategic and mental levels.

Conclusion:
After the failure in the World Cup, the road ahead for the Indian team is full of challenges. With the right strategy and confidence, the team can rise again, and make a fresh start in the 50-over home World Cup. The players and management need to learn from this experience so that the Indian women’s cricket team can become stronger in the times to come.
