It’s been so much cricket lately and not much time between each tournament. And after the world cup loss I wasn’t in the best headspaces to play the game I love the most. But being a part of this team helped me fall in love with the game again. From the moment I walked into this team I always felt like I belonged here and was a part of this family. Everyone here was so positive and helped me unlock a potential in me that I didn’t know I had. They always said to take the positive option and backed me to play aggressive cricket.
The best part? Everyone here are super nice humans! And maybe that’s why not winning today hurt a lot, cause I care so much about this team!
Thanks for having me. Until we meet again Heat! ” Expressed Jemimah
