IT has been 588 days since the last time the Indian women's cricket team played World Cup cricket.

With the start of a new World Cup in Dubai's tough desertlike heat, there was a new spirit on display when India took the field for practice ahead of their opening match against New Zealand. In the high ball catching drills, there was a competition between Jemimah Rodrigues, opener Shafali Verma and vice-captain Smriti Mandhana to take the screamers.
