Former captain Diana Edulji has no qualms in saying that India’s U-19 stars
fielded way better in their victorious T20 World Cup campaign in comparison
to the seniors’ effort in South Africa and reckons that most of them will
struggle if the ‘yo yo’ test becomes mandatory in women’s cricket.
Edulji, who was part of the Supreme Court-appointed Committee
which ran the BCCI for 33 months, was appalled at the fielding effort
displayed by India in the T20 World Cup semifinal in Cape Town on Thursday.Edulji said the poor standard of fitness was responsible for the
team’s ordinary fielding and running between the wickets. She also thought
skipper Harmanpreet Kaur was casual while running the second run before the
bat got stuck in the ground and led to a game-changing run out.
