Tahlia McGrath, the vice captain of Australia, has had a difficult time lately. The all-rounder has had a challenging time in her career, from Australia’s poor World Cup campaign to being cut by UP Warriorz in the Women’s Premier League (WPL). Tahlia McGrath has now publicly acknowledged that she has had difficulty finding her form and that the circumstance has negatively impacted her mental health.
She clarified that when performances fall short of expectations, the pressure usually increases, making it more difficult to pick up the pace. Tahlia McGrath acknowledged that the additional burden of leadership has added to the stress when asked if this was the worst time in her career. The duties on Tahlia McGrath are further increased by the fact that she captains the Adelaide Strikers in the Women’s Big Bash League (WBBL) in addition to her position with the Australian squad.
“Cricket is a tremendously competitive sport that heavily relies on self-assurance. The world becomes very critical of you when things don’t go your way.
“I felt the pressure a little bit and definitely didn’t perform well,” Tahlia McGrath told cricket.com.au.
“Most likely. I believe that you include time away from home and captaincy in that. It’s also evident that losing a World Cup is difficult to recover from. It has been a difficult period. Even though I was making every effort to get us to play some WBBL finals cricket, I was taking a little vacation,” Tahlia McGrath continued.
After being let go by the UP Warriorz, Tahlia McGrath decided not to sign up for the next WPL player auction. Additionally, she has made the decision to give up competitive batting for the time being. She will not pick up the bat until her next assignment with South Australia in the local 50-over competition next month. McGrath, who now bats for Australia at No. 7 in ODIs and No. 6 in T20Is, has stated that she wants to get back to the top order, where she started her international career.
“I’m appropriately putting myself at a distance right now. I don’t really need to pick up a bat. I wouldn’t get very far. “Get away from the game, go for walks along the beach, play a little golf, and see some friends and family,” is the plan. And after Christmas, just recharge, regain your vitality, and work hard,” McGrath advised.
