CWG 2022: India get Pooja Vastrakar boost ahead of must-win tie against Barbados

Pakistan, India will be further boosted by the arrival of their star allrounder Pooja Vastrakar, who has recovered from Covid-19 as the team guns for a semifinal berth when they take on Barbados in a do-or-die match of the women's T20 competition.

Vastrakar and batter S Meghana had tested positive for Covid-19 but have joined the squad now. While Meghana played against Pakistan, it will be interesting to see if Vastrakar is fielded against Barbados. Vastrakar was a big miss for India in the opening game, as they suffered a disappointing loss at the hands of world ODI and T20 champions Australia.

CWG 2022, Day 5: AS IT HAPPENEDAs the foursome in Birmingham ambled through the Victoria Park turf to a fairytale gold, the 17-10 scoreline over South Africa concealing the many bumps in the final, with it came the realisation of this genteel sport that mocks at ageism and doesn't scream for gym-toned physiques. What it calls for, instead, is poise, a steady hand and that slowing down of time that only age and experience bring.
