Goswami, 39, will play her last game for India when the visitors take on England women in the third and final ODI of the series at Lord’s on September 24. She is the only bowler in the history of the women’s game to have claimed more than 200 ODI scalps.
Speaking to the media ahead of the Indian team’s departure for the England series, Indian captain Harmanpreet hailed Goswami for her legendary contribution to the game, saying:
The current India women’s skipper made her debut under Goswami in a game against Pakistan at the 2009 World Cup. Recalling the same, Harmanpreet stated:
Goswami last turned out for India during the ODI World Cup in New Zealand in March. She picked up a side strain ahead of India’s final group match against South Africa. As a result, she was not picked for the Sri Lanka tour.

The Indian skipper admitted that the entire team is extremely keen to come up with some memorable performances so that the veteran pacer can sign off on a high. Harmanpreet said:
Having made her international debut in 2002, Goswami has represented India in 12 Tests, 201 ODIs, and 68 T20Is, claiming 352 scalps across formats.
India women will play three T20Is in England from September 10 to 15. This will be followed by three ODIs from September 18 to 24.
