London: Not winning an ODI World Cup will be her ‘only regret’ in an otherwise distinguished two-decade career, India’s fast bowling great Jhulan Goswami said Friday. Currently Jhulan Goswami is gearing up for her final international game Saturday which will be against England at Lord’s. It will be the third and final match of the ODI series with India having won the first two games.

Goswami was naturally emotional. She said she is grateful to the game for giving her name and fame. However, not having a World Cup trophy in her cabinet will remain an un-ticked box. The Indian team had ended second-best during the 2005 and 2017 editions of 50-over World Cup .

“I have played two World Cup finals, if we had won at least one, then it would have been very nice for me and the team. Every individual works for that goal. We played two finals, but we were not able to win, that remains my only regret,” the 39-year-old pacer said.

“You prepare for a World Cup for four years. There is a lot of hard work that goes into it. For every cricketer, it is a dream-come-true moment to win a World Cup. But from where I am looking, the graph of women’s cricket has only gone up,” Goswami stated.

“When I started I never thought of playing for such a long time. It was great experience. I am fortunate to play the sport. Honestly, coming from a humble background and a small town like Chakdah (in West Bengal’s Nadia district), I did not have any idea about women’s cricket and how professional setup works. I am fortunate enough, thanks to my family and parents, they always supported me,” Goswami informed.

Goswami said receiving the India cap was the most memorable moment of her cricketing journey. “My best memory is when I got the India cap from my captain and bowled the first over because I never imagined (that I will play for India). The journey was difficult as I had to travel for two-and-half hours by local train one way every day for training,” Goswami stated.

The Indian pacer recollected how the 1997 Women’s World Cup final between Australia and New Zealand at the Eden Gardens, watched by close to 90,000 people, fuelled her ambitions.

“In 1997, I was a ball girl at the Eden Gardens where I saw my first women’s World Cup final between Australia and New Zealand. From that day, my dream was to represent India,” she said.

As Goswami walks into the sunset, the BCCI is set to launch the women’s IPL sometime next year. However, the legendary cricketer hasn’t made up her mind whether she will be a part of T20 tournament.

“As of now, I haven’t decided because so far because the women’s IPL has not been officially announced. We are hopeful that it might come in the coming season. Let’s wait for the official announcement and then I will decide. At this moment, I am ending my career in international cricket. I have enjoyed every minute of it,” Goswami stated.

Plagued by injuries after the 2017 World Cup, Goswami said she had been contemplating retirement for quite some years now.

“Well, after the World Cup (2017), in the last two years I was always thinking each and every series could be my last. I was going through a lot of injuries and it was not easy. I was taking series by series,” Goswami stated.

“After World Cup, I thought Sri Lanka tour (in July) would be my last series but I got injured. So England tour was the last option for me. So I went back to NCA, got fit enough and thought of playing my last series in England,” she added.

With India taking an unassailable 2-0 lead in the series, Goswami now just wants to end her illustrious career on a high note. “It is very much important to finish the tour with a win and continue the way we have been playing in the last two matches,” the veteran Goswami added.

Goswami said she would miss singing the national anthem and the Indian jersey. “The best moment for me was coming out of dressing room and singing the national anthem and wearing the India jersey. I will miss those things. But everything in life has to end somewhere. I am happy that I have served the country with honesty and dedication for 20 years,” Goswami pointed out.

Goswami said Indian fast bowling is in safe hands now. “At this moment India have one of the best seam bowling attacks in the world. We are improving. Indian cricket now gives a lot of importance to fast bowling. Seam bowling is an art, it is a long process,” she pointed out.

Goswami also spoke highly about her long-standing association with retired Mithali Raj. “Obviously, Mithali and I have played together since U-19 days. We had a great relation both on and off the field. But it was just bringing Team India to a different length on what it was and today it is completely different,” Goswami said.

“That is a journey, we believed that we can change the face of women’s cricket, we believed that we can be in the top three-four teams in the world and it did not happen in a single. It was a process that took a lot of time and hard work,” Goswami signed off.
