‘It’s what dreams are made of’: Kerr on New Zealand Women’s maiden T20 WC title
The 24-year all-rounder helped the Kiwis defeat South Africa, who finished as the runners-up for the second year running, by 32 runs.
Following the allegations levelled by former T20I skipper Mithali Raj that Ramesh Powar “humiliated” her during the recently concluded T20 Women’s World Cup in West Indies, the Indian coach has submitted his report to BCCI. In his report, Ramesh Powar has accused Mithali Raj of being selfish and putting her interest ahead of the team. Powar also blamed the senior player for throwing tantrums and creating chaos.
In his 10-page report mainly focused on Mithali Raj, Powar said the highest T20I run scorer of India even threatened to retire midway through the ICC Women’s World T20 after being denied the opening slot.
After Ramesh Powar’s accusations, Mithali Raj took to Twitter to express her disappointment and wrote she was “deeply saddened and hurt by the aspersions cast” on her. Mithali also wrote that her commitment, hard work and patriotism were being questioned. The veteran cricketer ended her Tweet saying it was the “darkest day” of her life.
