When Jhulan (Goswami) finished, we thought about where the next seamer will come from, and then Renuka (Singh) Thakur has developed over the last three years. So, this is the best thing about women’s cricket,” said the former BCCI president.
Ganguly, Director of Cricket at Delhi Capitals, was happy to see the team pick some talented Indian players from the recent WPL auction.
I think Ashwani Kumari is someone I have kept an eye on (DC) because she can hit the ball long distances as she bowls.
We needed a backup goalkeeper, so we got another one. “We had three slots to fill, we knew one was always going to be the most important and we got (Annabel) Sutherland,” Ganguly said.
Delhi Capitals bought Australian cricketer Sutherland for Rs 2 crore ahead of WPL 2024 from the recent player auction held in Mumbai.
