Women's T20 WC: Indian Team Engaged Sports Psychologist To Focus On Mental Strength, Says Neetu David
Selection Committee Neetu David: Chairperson of Women’s Selection Committee Neetu David said that the Indian team's preparatory camp for the upcoming T20 World Cup involved a sports psychologist to focus on mental strength. India, who last featured in the Women's Asia Cup (played in T20 format), will play two warm-up matches against West Indies and South Africa before starting their World Cup campaign in the UAE against New Zealand on October 4.
The Harmanpreet Kaur-led India lost to Sri Lanka in the Asia Cup final in July earlier this year. The eight-wicket defeat brought a lot of flak for the team as they missed their eighth Asian title.
"During the Asia Cup 2024 final, we sat together and decided on that. We had a camp dedicated to fitness and fielding. We didn't touch the skill. So in that camp, we involved the psychologist. I am pretty happy with the camp by the end of that," said Neetu in the pre-departure press conference.
