BCCI Committed Towards India Women's Cricket: Shantha Rangaswamy

BCCI Apex council member Shantha Rangaswamy said the board’s commitment towards the India women’s cricket should not be judged. The India women’s cricket is in doldrums in the current situation. There is no selection panel at place for the senior women’s team and the reason being given is that there is no ongoing matches.

Their tri-series against England and South Africa was called off, and their is no clarity when the team will resume its training. All this comes at a situation when the board is keen on the IPL and the women’s cricket has been overlooked. Moreover, there will be no IPL exhibition matches for women this year as it clear does not makes it to the priority list for BCCI.

“The post Covid-19 scenario will be a testimony to their commitment on women’s cricket. People doubting BCCI’s intentions will have to wait for things to be normal before passing their judgement. The situation was not in their control on this occasion,” Shantha Rangaswamy told PTI.

“The late announcement on the men’s T20 World Cup postponement has also also given the BCCI little time to prepare for the IPL,” she added.

The India women’s cricket would be the last in order of BCCI priority list. India women’s cricket team have made the country proud over their last performances in the T20 World Cup and 50-over World Cup, with their last major success coming in the T20 World Cup earlier this year, where they reached the final.
