Former India team skipper Shantha Rangaswamy said that recent World Cup winning captain Harmanpreet Kaur should hand over the captain’s mantle to Smriti Mandhana, adding that the change was needed keeping an eye on the long-term future of the team. Rangaswamy opined that leaving captaincy would be beneficial for Harmanpreet who will remain an invaluable member of the team due to her batting and fielding skills. Under Harman, India became the ODI World Champions on Sunday with the next edition scheduled in 2029 while the T20 showpiece is in the UK next year. “It’s overdue. Because Harman as a batter and a fielder is brilliant. Yes. But tactically, she can fumble at times. I feel she can contribute more if she’s without the burden of captaincy. See, when it comes after a success like this (World Cup win), it will not be taken well but in the interest of Indian cricket and in Harman’s own interest, I think she can contribute much more as a batter without the burden of captaincy. She still has three-four …

“Long Overdue”: Sania Mirza Calls For Introspection On Value Of Women’s Success

Published by Webster

Former India tennis ace Sania Mirza has called for introspection on how women’s success is perceived in the society. The ex-India player, who got divorced from former Pakistan captain Shoaib Malik a few months back, reflected on the gender discrimination she feels is still prevalent in the society. Sania opened up while reacting to an advertisement that showed how a society devalues a woman’s success. The ad also portrayed the feelings of an independent woman during the struggle she has to go through due to the social stigma. “In 2005, I was the first Indian woman to win a WTA title. Big deal, right? When I was world no. 1 in doubles, people were keen to know when I’d settle down. Winning six grand slams isn’t settled enough for society,” said Mirza on X while reacting to the advertisement. “I’m grateful for the support I’ve received along the way, but can’t help and think why a woman’s achievements invite conversation about gender ‘expectations’ and appearances, instead of her skill and the work itself,” she added. …
