Tayla Vlaeminck Eyes Impact at Women's T20 World Cup After Injury Comeback

Australian pacer Tayla Vlaeminck is set to shine at the Women's T20 World Cup after overcoming a series of injuries. After her debut in 2018 and significant progress at the domestic level, she aims to lead Australia's pace attack in the UAE.

Australian pacer Tayla Vlaeminck is eager to make a significant impact at the upcoming Women's T20 World Cup after an injury-riddled few years. Since her international debut against Pakistan in Kuala Lumpur in 2018, Vlaeminck has faced numerous setbacks. However, she got a taste of the big stage with her sole appearance in the T20 World Cup held in the West Indies later that year.

Following a string of domestic games earlier this year and a successful international comeback during Australia's tour of Bangladesh in March and April, Vlaeminck believes she is well-positioned to lead Australia's pace attack in the UAE. In a column on the Cricket Australia website, Vlaeminck expressed her excitement to participate in the forthcoming World Cup.

Vlaeminck reflected on her initial experiences with the Australian squad, stating, 'That tour was one of my first experiences around the Aussie squad and I was just super pumped to be going to a World Cup, but I probably didn't appreciate how special it is and how rare they actually are.' She added that this World Cup holds greater significance due to the hard work and extensive rehab she has undergone.

'I've changed a lot since then. I still have that same energy and love for the game, but I'm a little bit smarter about how I go about it now and just a little more mature,' Vlaeminck observed. The 25-year-old is among the key players in Australia's Women's T20 World Cup squad, which includes star players like Alyssa Healy, Darcie Brown, and Ellyse Perry. (ANI)
