Mithali Raj is angry with the team's defeat, who should be made the captain in place of Harmanpreet?

Under the captaincy of Harmanpreet Kaur, Team India could not make it to the semi-finals of the T20 World Cup 2024. The team lost first to New Zealand and then to Australia by nine runs. This happened for the first time during Harmanpreet's tenure, when the team could not even reach the semi-finals. After this defeat of the team, former Indian cricketer Mithali Raj believes that captain Harmanpreet should resign from the captaincy. Mithali considers Jemimah Rodrigues suitable for captaincy.

can be the next face of captaincy

He said that Jemima is still young and can be the next face of captaincy in place of Harmanpreet, who is currently struggling with form. 41 year old Mithali said that Jemimah impressed her in the T20 World Cup. According to Mithali, she likes to bring positive energy to a cricketer and connect with all the cricketers.

It is time for change- Mithali

Mithali was quoted as saying, 'If the selectors decide on a change, I will choose a young captain. it's time to change. If you delay any longer we will have another ODI World Cup next year. I think Jemima is only 24 and is quite young. He will be able to serve the team more. He is a player who brings energy on the field.

I have not seen any progress in the last two-three years- Mithali

Mithali also targeted the current team management and said that there has been no progress in the team in the last few years. Giving the example of South Africa, he said that all other cricket playing countries have progressed, but not India and he believes that the team should work in this direction. Mithali said that we need a benchmark in terms of fitness.
