Cricket News Desk. Team India's performance in the Women's T20 World Cup 2024 has been very poor. He was considered a strong contender to win the tournament.

According to recent reports, BCCI may soon hold a meeting with head coach Amol Majumdar to remove Harmanpreet from the captaincy. Apart from this, former Team India captain Mithali Raj has also criticized that there has been no development in the team in the last 2 to 3 years. He has also demanded a new captain.

Fate will be decided before the New Zealand series
The Indian women's team has to play an ODI series against New Zealand from October 24. According to a report in Indian Express, BCCI may meet Team India's head coach Amol Majumdar before this. During this time, Harmanpreet's future will be decided. Before the 2025 ODI World Cup, BCCI now wants to remove him and bring a new captain.

Let us tell you that the Indian women's team could not make it to the semi-finals of the T20 World Cup in 2016. After this, Harmanpreet Kaur was given the captaincy of the T20 team. Under his captaincy, Team India continued to reach the knock out stage. Reached the final in the 2020 edition. However, she was never successful in winning the tournament.

Why does BCCI want to remove Harmanpreet?
Some reasons have emerged behind the removal of Harmanpreet Kaur from the captaincy. The biggest reason is that this time the Indian team could not reach the semi-finals despite being so strong. Also, the team was considered a strong contender to win the T20 World Cup. But after losing first to New Zealand and then to Australia, the dream of the semi-finals was shattered. Fitness and fielding of Team India has also been a big problem under the captaincy of Harmanpreet Kaur. Dropped 3 catches against Australia in T20 World Cup. There were some opportunities which could have been converted into catches.

Former team captain Mithali Raj has also raised questions on the fitness of the team. He has said that big tournaments cannot be won on the basis of only 2 fit players out of 11. According to him, apart from Jemimah Rodrigues and Radha Yadav, other players are not fast on the field. Questions are also being raised about new players not being given a chance during Harmanpreet's tenure. According to Mithali, there has been no growth in the team in the last few years. Only the old players are playing continuously.

Giving the example of the men's team, Mithali said that after every big tournament, when new players get a chance, they become more successful. Whereas new players could not be prepared under the captaincy of Harmanpreet. At the same time, the team management's planning before big tournaments has not been good. The preparation for the Asia Cup was a big opportunity for the ongoing T20 World Cup in UAE. But the Indian team kept playing to win that tournament. When the tournament started in UAE, there was confusion regarding batting at number 3 and number 4.
