The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) is reportedly considering appointing a new captain for the women's cricket team after India's early exit from the Women's T20 World Cup 2024, which showcased an average performance. Present skipper Harmanpreet Kaur, who has been leading the team for a long time, is facing criticism for the team's performance.
India's disappointing performance, which resulted in their disqualification from reaching the semi-finals, has raised concerns about Harmanpreet Kaur's future as captain. BCCI is considering a fresh leadership after India's early exit, according to reports. Despite criticism, Harmanpreet remains an important player, but her reign as captain may be coming to an end. The Board will have a meeting with women's team coach Amol Muzumdar and other selectors to discuss the new captainship.
India's captaincy is being considered for a new direction, with former captain Mithali Raj suggesting younger players like Jemimah Rodrigues could lead the team in T20 cricket. The BCCI is awaiting an announcement on Harmanpreet's future, focusing on India's pursuit of a maiden T20 World Cup title. Harmanpreet became the captain of the Indian T20 team in 2018 and has transformed the team into a competitive force globally.
