Mithali Raj Is Happy For Her Teammates After World Cup Success But Hopes That The BCCI Provides Proper Schedule
India made it to the final of the tournament.
Mithali Raj led India to the final of the Women's World Cup and despite not winning the title, the players have gained popularity since coming back.
But for a seasoned campaigner like her, there is no time to bask in the glory. She is happy for her teammates like Smriti Mandhana and Harmanpreet Kaur who are enjoying all the attention.

Right now her agenda is something else. The BCCI has not provided a schedule to the women's team. Unlike their male counterparts, the India Eves have no idea who they are playing and where.
Mithali wants a schedule so that there is a fixed number of matches and the girls can prepare adequately.

She is not wrong. Fresh from a good World Cup, it helps if they know their next tour or home series or else being kept in the dark about one's own activities is not the best way to go about things.
Players need time to adjust and they can do the job better once they know how much they are playing in a certain period of time.

Winning the tournament would have been a great way to go in the twilight of her career, but Mithali is more focused at the job ahead, leading India in the next match, whenever or wherever that is.
