The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) is planning to discuss captain Harmanpreet Kaur’s fate as the captain of women’s Team India following their exit from the T-20 World Cup.

For the first time in recent years, the Indian team led by Harmanpreet Kaur failed even to reach the knockout stages as their wait for a silverware in the ICC events continued. 

According to a report published by Indian Express, the BCCI has decided to organize a meeting with the selection committee and head coach Amol Muzumdar to discuss Harmanpreet’s future as a captain. 

It is also learnt that the meeting will take place before the squad for the three-match ODIs against New Zealand beginning from 24th October is picked. 

Harmanpreet, incidentally, took over as India’s T-20 captain in 2016 after they failed to make the semifinals of the tournament held at home.

Under Harmanpreet, India have been making the knockouts and even made the final of the 2020 edition, but have struggled to cross the line. And this edition, despite having a strong squad, India ended up losing to New Zealand in the opening match that severely dented their chances of making the semifinals. And last Sunday, Australia knocked them out.

With the next 50-over World Cup set to take place in India, it would be interesting to see if the BCCI takes a call on the new captain before the New Zealand series at home. Such a call would mean the new captain has enough time to build a squad for the World Cup.
