KOLKATA: Jhulan Goswami's cupboard is full of trophies, apart from the ICC World Cup and the India pacer said she will always miss it. It was a case of so-near-yet-so-far for Goswami, who missed out in spite of being within touching distance. In 2017, India lost the final to England while in March this year, they failed to make the semifinals going down to South Africa in the last group league match.
"I still have not got over the hangover from the World Cup. We deserved a better result," she said after being named as a mentor of Aditya School of Sports' residential cricket academy here on Thursday. Laid low with a side sprain that she suffered during the World Cup in New Zealand, the veteran pacer, however, is optimistic about the future of Indian women's cricket. "I am happy to see the new crop of cricketers and am certain that winning the World Cup is just a matter of time," she said. "These girls are so dynamic, flamboyant and aggressive. They are ready to cross any boundaries and I see a bright future for Indian women's cricket," she added.
