New Delhi: The opening of Flamboyant Smriti Mandhana must be handed over to Indian captain after the upcoming Woman World Cup, regardless of the results in the Mega program, the former WV Raman team coach said on Tuesday.
Mandhana, 25, has evolved into one of the key players since making its international debut in 2013.
“The captain has nothing to do with age but I am sure that Mandhana can be captain.
He is a good game reader and has played several years of cricket,” Raman said during virtual interactions.
“It can be the right time and captain to the younger Cricketer means they can lead the side for a stretch for several years.” But this is not the right time to hand over the captain because the upcoming World Cup.
So just to hold on to whatever happens in the past and maybe, after the World Cup, regardless of the results, I think the captain can be handed over to Mandhana Smriti, “he added.
At present, 38-year-old Veteran Mithali Raj is the Indian and side test captain ODI while HarmanPreet Kaur, 32, is responsible for the T20i team.
Mandhana enters three T20 T20 international matches against Australia with high, after scoring one hundred amazing girls in the only off day / night test against the host.
Raman guides India to The T20 World Cup final last year before the world went to lock because of the Covid-19 pandemic.
Raman was replaced as coach by Ramesh Powar this year.
