Diana Edulji feels Harmanpreet Kaur "can't get by in the [Indian] group" on the recollections of the 171 not out in 115 balls she scored in the 2017 ODI World Cup semi-last against Australia, and it's an ideal opportunity to look past her, beginning with the third ODI against New Zealand on Friday.
"Assuming you are going with a similar measuring stick which was utilized to drop Jemimah Rodrigues, what the mentor (Ramesh Powar) had referenced, a similar measuring stick ought to be applied to Harmanpreet," Edulji, a previous India skipper and an individual from the Supreme Court-named Committee of Administrators that administered the running of the BCCI for a long time up to October 2019, said. "I'm extremely disheartened with her. She was my beloved player yet you can't make due on that one innings. She is just a single innings from a major thump however the work must be there. I will be the most joyful assuming she discredits me. I simply need the group to win the [ODI] World Cup [starting in New Zealand next month].
"Indeed, even on captaincy front, Smriti [Mandhana] is the leader for all designs after Mithali [Raj] as Harman isn't performing. I wouldn't see any problems with dropping her for the following game. Sneh Rana is a decent trade for her."
Since that notorious innings against Australia, Harmanpreet has scored 614 runs in 32 ODIs, at a normal of 27.90, with only three half-hundreds of years, one of them in the last of that World Cup against England. Generally speaking, in 109 matches, she has 2588 runs at a normal of 34.05. She hasn't passed 30 in her last five innings, remembering the two ODIs for New Zealand this previous week.
Her structure for Melbourne Renegades in the 2021-22 WBBL was, notwithstanding, magnificent as she scored 406 runs from 12 innings, and furthermore got 15 wickets to be named the Player of the Tournament.
Edulji additionally proposed dropping Shafali Verma for the following game, with Mandhana expected to return in the wake of finishing quarantine. In Mandhana's nonattendance, S Meghana has had an effect, with an innings of 49 in the subsequent game, yet Verma has proceeded with her battles in the organization since making her introduction last year.
"Shafali needs a little rap on the knuckle, she wants legitimate preparing," Edulji said. "She is moving towards the square leg and playing. There is no tranquility in her position. I can't get why.
"Whenever she was scoring, there wasn't this sort of (trigger) development. Bowlers have observed her out and for that reason she is getting away from the stumps to play her strokes. Yet, you need to regard the bowlers at this level."
