BCCI to decide fate of Pak series, enjoying playing in ODIs: Jhulan

Mumbai: Pacer Jhulan Goswami said Wednesday that BCCI will decide whether the national team will play Pakistan in a bilateral series as a part of the ICC Women’s ODI Championships in the aftermath of the Pulwama terror attack.

As far as the released current schedule, India have not been slotted to play Pakistan but are expected to be when the next set of itinerary is released.

“That (Indo-Pak clash) BCCI will decide. We don’t know what will happen against Pakistan and I cannot comment on that,” Jhulan told reporters.  “But all the matches are important for us and whenever we play, we must play positive and good cricket and try to do things in right way,” she added.

Speaking ahead of India’s third and final ODI against England, the 34-year-old added that quitting T20s has rejuvenated her mentally and physically and she is now enjoying playing the 50-over format.

“Well, I am very much fresh mentally and physically. Mostly I am enjoying my cricket, because T20 is a format where you need to be physically or mentally little aggressive,” Goswami stated.

“That way (now) I am getting more time for myself to think about what to do and what not to do, so I am enjoying playing one format game,” she added.

India already have an unassailable 2-0 lead in the series.
