Jemimah wrote the note after the unveiling of the team’s white jersey for India’s upcoming tour of England, where Mithali Raj and Co are playing a Test match after seven years. The 20-year-old Jemimah said during the event head coach Ramesh Powar showed the squad the legacy of the Indian women’s cricket team. “The one’s who did it without the recognition they deserved, the one’s who brought women’s cricket in India.”Something that’s very close to my heart. “This series (tour of England) and the series here forth, we are playing for a far bigger cause than what we realise, we are playing for every single girl who desires to play this sport,” she concluded. India and England will then square off in three T20Is, beginning July 9, in Northampton, Hove, and Chelmsford.
