Goswami said that, even after the 2022 World Cup, she reckoned the following Sri Lanka tour would be her last series. But unfortunately, the star pacer got injured in the final match of the global tournament and was ruled out for the series in Sri Lanka.

She said that she considered retirement in the ODI series in England since it would be the last series before the T20 World Cup.

"Last two years I was thinking every series, each and every series is my last series because of injuries and ups and downs.

After the World Cup also, I thought maybe Sri Lanka tour will be my last series, but again I got injured in the last match of the World Cup and wasn't fit enough to travel to Sri Lanka."
