Mithali Raj

India great Mithali Raj sees at least three to four members of the triumphant Women's U-19 T20 World Cup squad graduating to the senior level and potentially playing a key role in the ODI World Cup at home in 2025.

Leg-spinner Parshavi Chopra, opener Shweta Sehrawat, pacer Titas Sadhu, off-break bowler Archana Devi and left-arm spinner Mannat Kashyap were among the standout performers of the U-19 side that outplayed England in the final in Potchefstroom on Sunday.

"The spinners and seamers have been very impressive and in both the departments we need improvement at the senior level. It's always good to have more options and build a solid pool of players.

"When you compare to the highest level, there is obviously bit of difference in terms of standards, technique and temperament at the U-19 level. We will have to work on them. And from what I saw in South Africa, they are really good," Mithali, who called time on a 23-year-old illustrious international career last year, told PTI.
