The introduction of the Women’s Premier League to cricket is incredibly exciting. I’m incredibly excited about the chance to work with the wonderful Mithali Raj and be a part of the Gujarat Giants’ debut season, which is owned by Adani Sportline. With Nooshin Al Khadeer, Tushar Arothe, and Gavan Twining, we have put together an excellent coaching staff that will bring their wealth of experience to bear to help the team play an exciting brand of cricket that our fans will enjoy watching, said Rachael Haynes when announcing her move to Gujarat Giants.
