Skillwise Indian women team not lacking at all, we have best facilities and experts: Mithali Raj

Winning the World Cup in 2021 will be a major boost to the women's cricket in the country, according to ODI captain Mithali Raj.

Mithali Raj, who has already confirmed that the upcoming World Cup in New Zealand scheduled for February 2021 would be her last, said she hopes India wins the coveted trophy in her swansong edition.

Speaking at Salaam Cricket 2020, Mithali Raj said: "I also hope we win the World Cup, which will be my last. Women's cricket in India has improved a lot and has a bright future. But if we win the World Cup it will be a big boost for women's cricket in the country. I hope we go one step ahead in the 50-over World Cup this time."

India have managed to impress at the ICC tournaments in the recent past but they have failed at the final hurdle. A World Cup trophy is missing from the women's team cabinet and India came close to winning the World Cup in 2017 and the T20 World Cup in 2020, failing in the final on both the occasions.
