No place for Amanjot Kaur
Star all-rounder Amanjot Kaur failed to make a place in this team. Amanjot has been away from sports for a long time and was suffering from a back injury for some time. Talking about him, captain Harmanpreet Kaur said, Amanjot is an important player for us, but he is not available at the moment. He has been away from cricket for the last 4-5 months. It was difficult to find a player of his caliber, but we are trying to find someone else to replace him. We hope he gets the opportunities he deserves.
