Overview
- India failed to reach the semifinals after group losses to Australia and South Africa, leaving the team eliminated from the ICC Women’s T20 World Cup on Wednesday.
- Former captain Diana Edulji publicly called for Harmanpreet Kaur to be replaced as T20 captain and for the T20 coaching setup to be changed to bring fresh tactics.
- Edulji criticized specific selection choices, saying picking wicketkeeper‑batter Yastika Bhatia in the Australia must‑win game was a wasted slot and noting Yastika has since been dropped from the T20I pool and omitted from the Asian Games squad.
- She singled out poor fielding—reportedly about 11 dropped catches in group matches—and faulted fielding coach Munish Bali while urging a fitness and fielding camp for pace bowlers.
- Edulji pressed for format‑specific squads and more use of T20 specialists such as WPL standout pacer Nandni Sharma, warning that repeating the same players across formats has harmed performance and workload management.
