The 29-year-old has thus far taken part in 46 ODIs, amassing 771 runs at 29.65 while playing down the order, in addition to chipping in with 25 wickets with her decent seamers.
As she prepares for the main event later this year, this time as vice-captain of the side, McGrath reflected fondly on her experiences from the Women’s Cricket World Cup in New Zealand in 2022, where she was still cementing her spot in the side.
McGrath had a decent outing through the tournament as Australia went on to claim the title, helping the side with 100 valuable runs from five outings with the bat, while also racking up five wickets with the ball.
“That (2022 tournament) was my favourite World Cup I’ve been a part of,” she said.
“The extended time, playing every team, it’s a proper challenge.
“So the fact that now I’m in a leadership role and I’ve evolved my game a little bit in that way, I’m really excited to play my part (in India) and hopefully be lifting another World Cup trophy the end of it.”
