Veteran India pacer Jhulan Goswami feels that the memorable campaign by her side in the recent World Cup will lead to a new road for women's cricket in the country.

Jhulan and her teammates on Wednesday returned home to a warm reception and they recalled their experiences of the ICC Women's Cricket World Cup in England, where they finished as runners-up, creating waves in the country.

India let slip of the title as they wilted under pressure to lose the final by nine runs but Jhulan said being runners-up was still a big thing for the women's game in the country.

"There is pressure when we play international cricket. This is the second time (we were in final after 2005). After 12 years, the matches were televised and all saw them. It is the best thing for women's cricket," Jhulan said.

"The way ICC conducted this World Cup and promoted women's cricket. A new road will be there for women's cricket and all will play an important role," said 34-year-old Jhulan.

Jhulan, the most experienced bowler for India, also praised seamers Mansi Joshi and Shikha Pandey, terming them as match winners.

"Mansi did not get chances in this tournament. She has the spark and swings the balls well. She must improve her fitness level and can carry the legacy. Both she and Shikha are good bowlers and hopefully we will get good fast bowlers," said Jhulan, the highest wicket-taker in the women's game.

Mumbai girl Poona Raut, who made a valiant 86 in the summit clash against England, albeit for a losing cause, said she had prepared well for the tournament.

"There was pressure, we had made a lot of preparation. I was practising the last two years, how to open, how to play in the power play. In England, the wickets are different and ball swings, and then rains," she said.

"We have to play in that conditions which were different from India. Our preparation was done accordingly. We went 10-12 days in advance, and that helped us to acclimatise to the conditions," the opener told reporters.

Poonam, who made descent contributions in the entire tournament, said she was overwhelmed by the reception on their arrival.

"Yes, we felt good, the rousing reception was not expected. The way our team has played, we deserved it," she added.

Big hitter Harmanpreet Kaur, whose sensational innings of 171 not out against Australia took India to the final, attributed her success to Big Bash League of Australia.

"I like to bat aggressive, and I think all that helped in the Big Bash. I learned from there, which helped me in South Africa and England. The way I and Smriti (Mandana) got chances, two-three more players should get chance (in Big Bash), which will be beneficial for the team," said Harmanpreet.
