"The more you`re in that situation and in those pressure moments, I think that`s the best preparation you can have. So, for me, I look at it (WCPL) more as a preparation for the T20 World Cup," she added

Star India batter Jemimah Rodrigues on Thursday said her maiden foray into women`s Caribbean Premier League (WCPL) will help her tackle pressure situations better in the upcoming T20 World Cup. Rodrigues will appear for Trinbago Knight Riders in the WCPL, and they will face title holders Barbados Royals in their opening match on Friday. "Firstly, just to come out and play cricket because for me, that`s how I see it before the (Women`s) T20 World Cup (2024). I think these are the matches that I`m actually going to get as rest all will be my own preparation," Rodrigues said in an interaction organised by the Fancode.
"The more you`re in that situation and in those pressure moments, I think that`s the best preparation you can have. So, for me, I look at it (WCPL) more as a preparation for the T20 World Cup," she added. While the chat was largely centered around the WCPL, Rodrigues noted that she would try to perfect a few aspects of her batting ahead of the World Cup. The ICC showpiece will be held in the UAE next month, after the global governing body shifted it from Bangladesh owing to the political unrest in that nation.
