Former India women’s cricketer Jhulan Goswami has joined the Trinbago Knight Riders women as a mentor for the 2024 WCPL season.

Speaking to TKR, Goswami said, “The conversation about me joining TKR started with Mr. Venky Mysore. As a management head, the way he takes care of everyone is amazing. I felt really honored by the way both Shah Rukh Khan and Venky sir welcomed me and spoke to me when we met in Kolkata during the IPL.”

Goswami retired from international cricket as the leading wicket-taker in women’s ODIs with 255 scalps across 203 innings.

TKR recently added international superstars Jemimah Rodrigues, Meg Lanning, Jess Jonassen and Shikha Pandey to the squad, ahead of the tournament this August.

TKR Women’s Squad for WCPL 2024:

Retained Caribbean Players: Deandra Dottin (c), Kycia Knight (wk), Shamila Connell, Zaida James, Samara Ramnath

New Signings: Meg Lanning, Jemimah Rodrigues, Jess Jonassen, Shikha Pandey

The remaining six slots in the 15-member squad will be filled in the WCPL Draft in July.
