“I am spending a lot of time in the practice sessions, with the bowling coach and batting coach. Earlier I had no experience, now I have gained experience by talking to most of my seniors. After getting so much experience now I can go to the ground and imply those suggestions in the game,” she added.


Talking about the other young bowlers in the team, Vastrakar said, “We are all young and have known each other since under-19 days. Everyone is friendly within the team, so because of this also it feels good to work with other bowlers.”
