Sthalekar said she is happy that she doesn't have to face West Indian power player Deandra Dottin ever again. "The great thing about this World Cup was that each team had a player that were destructive in their own right. Which shows there is some good depth across the world. "The West Indian whom we played in the final, they have some amazing players. Stafanie Taylor obviously didn't showcase all of her skills last night, thankfully," she said. "But Deandra Dottin, she is going to have a bright future. She is an amazing cricketer and I am really glad that I don't have to bowl to her ever again," Sthalekar, who incidentally dismissed Dottin in the final, added. On her future plans, Sthalekar said she would love to be associated with women's cricket in some form and give something back to the game. "I work at Cricket New South Wales and I already hold a coaching role but it is more at the junior level. I think I will definitely stay within the game. The game has given me so much. It is only fair that I give something back. "I would love to do a bit of coaching, I would love some commentary work, I would love to see women's cricket take off and hopefully be a part of it in some way. "I would love the opportunity to work with the Indian girls. Obviously they are talented. They would have had a disappointing World Cup campaign. I am here to help women's cricket grow not only in my country but globally."
