On Friday, the International Cricket Council decided to postpone the World Cup, originally slated to be held in New Zealand in 2021, until February-March 2022 because of the impact the coronavirus pandemic.
 
"Whilst this is never great news to wake up to. I can understand the reasons why given the lack of cricket in some countries. I just hope those players who were planning to retire after the World Cup can hold on for one year...right Mithali Raj, Jhulan Goswami and Rachael Haynes," cricketer-turned-commentator Lisa Sthalekar tweeted following ICC's decision to postpone Women's World Cup.
 
To this, Mithali replied: "Oh absolutely, my eyes are fixed firmly on the trophy. With all niggles recovered, mind and body fresh and stronger than before, I am definitely looking at World Cup 2022."
