It was great fun opening the batting with Shafali and that’s something I look forward to again this year.” I think as a group, we gelled well. It was a very easy-going group, it was nice to hang out on and off the field, it felt like we were able to get along well. , so it was a lot of fun. I’m sure this year it’s going to be exactly the same.”
