India’s vice-captain Smriti Mandhana believes that thinking about the World Cup after a successful campaign will not help them win the next one, and said that the Indian team has a lot of scope to improve as they prepare for the global T20 event scheduled for next year.
Mandhana played a prolific knock with the bat in the recently concluded fourth T20I against Sri Lanka in Trivandrum on Sunday after registering poor scores in the first three games. She became the fourth player to complete 10,000 international runs on her way to a 48-ball 80.
