India Captain Harmanpreet Kaur spoke there, saying that in cricket, players are always learning. "I think that is something we keep learning every day. When you win, sometimes you feel, OK, that is something I have achieved. But the next day, when you play, you may make small mistakes. I think that is part of the game. Learning never stops, every day is a learning day," "I'm constantly gaining experience from every game. The people around me are helping and working hard to take our team to the level we want to reach. I am happy with the hard work the team is putting in to achieve even the small goals," Also Read | Pakistan Likely to Name Separate Captains for All Formats After Babar Resigns New Zealand captain Sophie Devine talked about the great progress in women's cricket, both on and off the field.
