“That’s something we need to keep care” – Harmanpreet Kaur on injuries

Just a few days back, after the tri-series win against Sri Lanka, skipper Harmanpreet Kaur raised her concerns on the injury of pace bowlers, considering India’s preparations for the upcoming home Women’s ODI World Cup later this year.

““We can never stop improving, lots of areas where we can keep doing better, be it batting, bowling or fielding. Our pacers keep getting injured; that’s something we need to keep care of. The coaches are working on it,” she added later.
