The WPL auctionis scheduled to be held here on December 9, the same day as the second T20I.Having been disappointed at having no takers for her the last time around, Wyatt, who has scored 2,602 runs in 150 T20Is, with two centuries and 13 half-centuries, said she wasn\u2019t thinking about the WPL auction while walking out to bat.<\/p>\n
\u201cNot while I was batting and not when I was walking out to bat. But it did cross my mind a few times in the morning when people spoke about it. I was pretty disappointed in the last auction. But I have completely changed my mind, so now I am just like… I have done all I can, had a good summer, performed tonight, so what will be, will be. I\u2019d love to be a part of the next WPL, will see what happens,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n
The match also happened to be Wyatt\u2019s landmark 150th T20I. The 32-year-old became only the third woman \u2014 after Harmanpreet Kaur and Suzie Bates, and the first English player to feature in 150 T20Is.
\u201cIt is always nice to do well on your big days. I try not to think too much about it being a big game for me. It is something I\u2019ll look back on when I retire \u2014 how many games I\u2019ve played in this format,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n<\/div>\nWe could have fielded better, says spinner Shreyanka Patil<\/span>
Meanwhile, debutant off-spinner Shreyanka Patil felt that India could have \u201cvaried the pace more\u201d while bowling during their defeat on Wednesday.
\u201cWe could have varied the pace little more, the wicket was not that great for bowlers. It was completely in favour of the batters. I could\u2019ve bowled better but bowling in the death overs is not easy at all,\u201d said Patil, who took two for 44 in four overs on her T20I debut.
Having dropped a caught and bowled chance herself, and seen Pooja Vastrakar grass a sitter, Patil admitted that India could have certainly \u201cfielded better,\u201d though she promised that the hosts would bounce back in the second match at the Wankhede on Saturday.
\u201cThe wicket was amazing to bat on, it was not easy (to bowl), but I think we did a pretty decent job. We will have a discussion as to what can be improved. Fielding could have been better, but we will bounce back stronger,\u201d the 21-year-old said.
The youngster revealed that \u201cdidn\u2019t get any sleep\u201d after being told that she would be getting her maiden India cap against England.
\u201cI was very happy that I got the cap. I was a bit excited as well as nervous, I did not get any sleep but after one or two balls I was fine. I belong here,\u201d she said.<\/div>\n
