During the interview Verma also spoke about the difference between playing in open category and the U19 World Cup. She said “There is lots of difference because the ball is coming in a little slow in the U-19 and the wicket is also in the slow end and we are trying to get used to that.
“And of course, a little bit of difference, seamers have good pace, a good mind-set here also but they are all learning and I really enjoying playing with them. I think it’s very important for women’s cricket to you know, as they way Mithali said, that for growing up and developing talented players, for them it’s very good.”
