India look to break 'final barrier' in Women's World Cup
The Indian women made it to two ODI World Cup finals but lost on both occasions -- going down to England by nine runs the last time around in 2017 at Lord's.
Kaur, who made a valiant 51 runs in the final, will be leading India for the first time in the marquee tournament.
"Playing in front of a home crowd is always special, and hopefully, this time we will give our 100 percent and finally break that barrier that all Indian fans are waiting for," Kaur said.
"World Cups are always special, and we always want to do something special" for the country, she said at an International Cricket Council event in Mumbai.
Kaur's India are fresh from a series win in England, where they beat the hosts 3-2 in T20 matches and 2-1 in three 50-overs games.
"(The confidence is) very high. The kind of cricket we've played over the last couple of years, gives us a lot of confidence," said the top-order batter.
India opener Smriti Mandhana said the women's team has witnessed a change in mindset over the years.
"There's a calmness with which I want to go about on the field," said Mandhana at the event, which marked the 50-day countdown to the tournament.
"Our whole team is heading in that direction. We know where we want to work hard. And when we enter the field, we know we've just got to implement."
Pakistan will play all their matches in Colombo as part of a compromise deal that allows both India and Pakistan to play at neutral venues in multi-nation tournaments.
The final will be played on November 2 either in Bengaluru or Colombo, depending on whether Pakistan reach the title clash.

India to bid for Commonwealth Games as part of Olympic push
"Our preparations will go ahead," Indian Olympic Association (IOA) president PT Usha said after a meeting on Wednesday, according to local media. The capital New Delhi -- which hosted the 2010 Commonwealth Games, an event marked by construction delays, substandard infrastructure and accusations of corruption -- is being considered as host city. Bhubaneswar in the eastern state of Odisha is another option. But Indian media are tipping Ahmedabad, the key city in Prime Minister Narendra Modi's home state of Gujarat. The city is home to a 130,000-seater arena, the world's biggest cricket stadium, named after Modi. It staged the 2023 Cricket World Cup final. India last year submitted a formal letter of intent to the International Olympic Committee to host the 2036 Games. India has staged World Cups for cricket and the Asian Games twice, and will co-host the Women's World Cup cricket in September. Nigeria and at least two other nations have reportedly expressed interest in hosting the Commonwealth Games, which struggled to find a replacement host for 2026 after the Australian state of Victoria withdrew citing costs. Glasgow stepped in and will stage a slimmed-down version. Following IOA approval, India has until the end of August to submit a formal bid. The decision will be made in November in Glasgow. India said that if it wins the bid, the Commonwealth Games would be a "full-fledged" event. "We will have all the sports we are good at and have a chance of winning maximum medals," said IOA executive council member Rohit Rajpal, according to the Times of India newspaper. That would include tag-type sports such as kabaddi and kho kho, which India is pushing to be included in the Olympics. Despite its 1.4 billion people India's record at the Olympics is poor for a country of its size, winning only 10 gold medals in its history.

Top Japanese fighter retires to support comatose boxer brother
Former WBC strawweight champion Yudai Shigeoka's brother Ginjiro collapsed after a fight in Osaka three months ago and underwent emergency brain surgery. The 25-year-old remains in a coma but is no longer in a life-threatening condition, the Japan Boxing Commission says. Ginjiro, a former IBF champion at the same weight who has a professional win-loss record of 11-2, was recently transferred to another hospital. "I encourage him every day, telling him not to give up and to do his best, so that the flame in his heart does not go out," Yudai, 28, said in an Instagram post on Wednesday. "I believe it is my role as his older brother to enrich his life from now on." "Plans are progressing steadily. That is why I have decided to retire. I have no regrets. The real challenge begins from here on out," added Yudai, who has a 9-2 record. Japanese boxing is under the spotlight after super featherweight Shigetoshi Kotari and lightweight Hiromasa Urakawa, both 28, died days after injuries they sustained in separate bouts in Tokyo on August 2. Japanese boxing officials held an emergency meeting this week and vowed to introduce new safety rules. New measures to be implemented as soon as possible include urine tests for measuring dehydration and stricter rules on boxers' rapid weight loss, said Tsuyoshi Yasukochi, secretary-general of the JBC. Ambulances will also be required on site, even for non-world championship bouts, something which is common practice in some other countries.

Test cricket needs quality not quantity to stay alive: Australia chief
Marking 100 days until the home Ashes series against England begins in Perth, Cricket Australia CEO Greenberg suggested quality not quantity was important in keeping the red-ball game viable. "We're trying to send countries bankrupt if we force them to try to play Test cricket," he told reporters. "We need to make sure we invest in the right spaces to play Test cricket where it means something. "That's why the Ashes will be as enormous and as profitable as it is -- because it means something." England have just completed a thrilling 2-2 home drawn series against India in front of sold-out crowds. At the same time, New Zealand and Australia romped to easy overseas Test series wins against uncompetitive West Indies and Zimbabwe teams respectively, leaving question marks over the quality of Test cricket in those countries. One idea is to create two or more divisions of Test cricket to keep it competitive, but Greenberg said he did not have a strong opinion on the ideal number of Test-playing nations. "Let's consider what the future might look like," he said. But the five-day game remained in rude health in Australia, Greenberg said, where interest in the Ashes had been "off the charts". "This will be the biggest sports event in Australia this year," said Greenberg. "The interest is quite extraordinary with ticket allocations for 11 of the 20 days on sale already exhausted."
