India women’s captain Harmanpreet Kaur gave a fitting reply to a journalist on being asked about less coverage for women’s cricket matches. This happened during the joint captains’ press conference for the upcoming ICC Women’s Asia Cup T20 2024.

During the conference, Harmanpreet was asked about the lack of support for women's cricket by a reporter. While the India skipper needed some assistance in understanding the question, she found the query both baffling and amusing.

The reporter cited the example of Team India's recent tour of Bangladesh as he wondered if something needed to be done about women's cricket's poor media coverage.

"There have been concerns about the importance of women's cricket, especially after the Bangladesh tour. Less journalists appeared at your press conferences. What's your opinion on this?” a journalist asked Harmanpreet.

With a smile on her face, Harmanpreet responded saying: "Well, that's none of my business. You guys have to come and cover us."

India will open their Asia Cup tournament with a match against rivals Pakistan on Friday. The India skipper is eager to begin the campaign on a winning run.

"We always enjoy playing against Pakistan but every team is important. Whenever we go and play, we always want to play good cricket, and we will follow the same method. This tournament is very important for all of us because we give equal respect to this tournament and want to improve at the Asian as well as at the world level. So our focus will remain the same as we prepare for the T20 World Cup or any other World Cup. Every game is important for us and we will try to give our best," she said.

With India being the defending champions, Harmanpreet is keen to get her team to play a strong tournament and clinch the title once again.

"The challenge will be to keep doing the right things which we have done in the past Asia Cups, keep playing the same type of cricket, and keep dominating other teams and enjoy our cricket," she added.
