In this segment of the tour diary, we speak to Suleeporn Laomi, Thailand’s ace leg-spinner and one of the country’s most experienced players. Her four over spells against the West Indies (0/14) and England (0/26) went at only five an over, and she bowled a maiden against the former.

She speaks about how it feels to play in a World Cup, her bowling plans, her approach to fielding, and her outlook on Thailand’s opposition here in Australia.
