The lack of quality pace-bowling support for veteran fast bowler Jhulan Goswami remains a matter of concern for the country’s women’s cricket team, feels former India captain Anjum Chopra.

Regarded as one of the greatest fast bowlers of all time in the women’s game, Jhulan began her journey in international cricket nearly two decades ago and, at 38, she is still going strong but without enough help from the other end on a consistent basis.

“No bowler to complement for Jhulan...that’s been there for a long, long time. That remains a concern for the team to not have a supporting role alongside Jhulan Goswami. Whereas many teams are looking to field three seamers, we are struggling to field two,” Chopra said.

“Shikha Pandey was not picked for [the series against] South Africa but went to England [earlier this year]. Meghna Singh is there...it’s also about taking those chances for the players.”
