'Better Ask The Right Person': Harmanpreet Kaur on Shafali Verma's Snub. (Source: BCCI)
After the BCCI women’s selection committee picked India's 15-member squads for the upcoming three-match T20I & ODI home series against West Indies, one prominent name that was missing was Shafali Verma. Verma, who failed to make a return after being dropped from the team for the recent Australia tour, now faces an uncertain future.
However, when skipper Harmanpreet Kaur was asked to comment on the matter, she flatly refused to speak on the exclusion of Verma for T20Is against West Indies despite the right-handed batter being second highest run-scorer this year.
“I would say, ask the right person. I can only talk about the team, (the) team is here and what (all) things we can do to win this series. Regarding Shefali or any other player, (it is) better to ask the right persons,” Kaur was quoted as saying by PTI.
"I am not the right person to answer that. You can definitely ask the right person,” she said when asked if the scheduling could’ve been better.
“To be honest, it is difficult because we are coming from Australia and after the game, only within 4-5 hours we left the country and came back to India ,” she said.
“But as a professional, these things happen and we just want to stay motivated and yesterday was a totally off day. We tried to rest well and tomorrow is another game, so looking forward for that.”
