Cricket Association of Bengal organises webinar for wicketkeepers

The Cricket Association of Bengal (CAB) on Sunday (June 21) organised a webinar under the guidance of former India wicketkeeper Deep Dasgupta for the benefit of women stumpers in the state. Elite women’s team players Richa Ghosh, Parna Paul, Aparna Mondal and Sanstitha Biswas participated in the session which also included head coach Shib Sankar Pal and batting coach Charanjit Singh.



The webinar mostly emphasized on mental health. “It had more to do with mentally being strong and focused and how to stay positive with cricketing issues. Staying positive now matters the most and it will have a positive effect when they (players) get back to the ground. What to keep in mind during their drills was another topic of discussion,” said Dasgupta.

Pal too welcomed the session. “They got morally boosted. It will give them more confidence when they play again. They are regularly in touch with cricket. When the girls practise again, Deep will be present for some classes,” he added.



“It was a useful session and taught us how to stay positive in a game even if you make a mistake. We asked questions to Deep Sir and he answered them, talking about his experience,” said 16-year-old Ghosh, who made her India debut this year in Australia.
