The Indian women's cricket team arrived in Birmingham on Monday. Women's cricket will be played for the first time ever at the multi-sport event.
"I am very excited. I have been watching CWG since I was a child. To participate at the event as a cricketing group is exciting," said Yadav while interacting with the media.
India is set to have two high-profile matches, with the tournament opener being against Australia while the next game being against arch-rivals Pakistan. On playing these two games with two great teams, she said, "All teams in T20I are good, we want to give our best in every game.
Talking about the brand of cricket under coach Ramesh Powar, Yadav said that the team looks forward to improving a bit day by day.
