Napier: Asserting that her dispute with former coach Ramesh Powar and CoA member Diana Edulji is a thing of past, Indian women’s ODI captain Mithali Raj said Tuesday cricket has helped her deal with the adversities of life. The Indian women’s team was at the centre of a huge controversy after its semi-final exit in the T20 World Cup in the West Indies, with Raj accusing Powar of bias and Edulji of trying to finish her career.
“What has happened has happened, I have moved on. Cricket has taught me to move on whether it’s scoring a hundred or getting out on zero you have to be prepared for the next game, you need to tune in for the next day,” Mithali said ahead of the series against New Zealand. “As professional cricketers everyone understands what it takes to play international level, we are here to represent the country and want the team to play as a unit and get the best result,” she added.
