Shikha Pandey's surprise return from wilderness may have raised a few eyebrows, but Indian women's team captain Harmanpreet Kaur on Wednesday said the veteran pacer could just be the X-factor they need in the upcoming T20I World Cup in South Africa.
The 33-year-old, who last played for India in October 2021 before being controversially dropped from the team, was brought back for the upcoming tri-series and the following T20 World Cup slated from February 10-26.
