Former skipper Anjum Chopra doesn’t think that removing Harmanpreet Kaur from captaincy is a solution, as the Indian women’s team do not have quality back-up options in any of the departments.
While another legendary former skipper, Mithali Raj, has urged the selectors to look at the bigger picture and groom a young captain like Shafali Verma for WT20Is, Chopra doesn’t find it a feasible course correction.
“Why are we even talking about a change? You can make anybody the captain. That doesn’t mean that the rest of the 10 players will start performing differently. And if that has to happen, then I think we’re in a very bad zone or a wrong place,” the captain said.
“I’m not saying that nobody can become captain. It’s not a permanent position. And if change of captaincy is solution, then I think in every series, we should keep changing captains if that is the way that we are going to get results,” she said.
