India women's cricket captain Harmanpreet Kaur said her team is 'hungry for more' after recent victories, including a historic Test win at Lord's, as they prepare for the Asia Cup T20 in the UAE and the Asian Games in Japan.
India are record seven-time Asia Cup champions and will defend their Asian Games gold medal. Harmanpreet said a winning culture is taking shape, with players focused on winning tournaments.
On the India-Pakistan clash in the Asia Cup group stage, she said the pressure is on another level. The Asia Cup begins Friday.
Indian Opinion Analysis
India have dominated Asian women's cricket but lost the last Asia Cup final to Sri Lanka in 2022, a result that still stings. The team now has a chance to reassert its regional supremacy before the Asian Games, where individual medals add a rare personal incentive for cricketers. The BCCI has prioritised women's tours and a domestic structure overhaul since the 2022 Asia Cup defeat. The key test is whether India can convert bilateral series momentum into tournament knockout wins, something that has eluded them in ICC events. The Asia Cup group stage clash with Pakistan on Friday will set the tone.
