India women’s Twenty20 captain Harmanpreet Kaur and ODI skipper Mithali Raj met top BCCI officials on Monday (November 26) to air their views on the selection call that caused a storm after the team’s World T20 semifinal loss to England.
Mithali was left out of the team despite being fit and Harmanpreet had gone on to justify the call even after the humiliating eight-wicket loss. Both the senior players, along with manager Trupti Bhattacharya, met BCCI CEO Rahul Johri and GM (Cricket Operations) Saba Karim.
“Yes, we (Johri and Karim) met Mithali, Harman and manager Trupti Bhattacharya. All of them met us separately and put across their viewpoints. We have noted everything down,” Johri told PTI.
A strong possibility exists that Mithali may never play the shortest format for India again and, like her contemporary Jhulan Goswami, only concentrate on 50-over cricket.
