On Friday, as the ladies in blue began their championship defence at the Asia Cup, BCCI secretary Jay Shah wrote a heartfelt post for them.
Seven-time winners In the tournament opener at the Rangiri Dambulla International Cricket Stadium in Dambulla, Sri Lanka, the Indian women’s team will face off against their bitter rivals, Pakistan, in a high-stakes match.
