India's exit from the Women's T20 World Cup 2024 has sparked significant debate around the future of the team and its leadership. Skipper Harmanpreet Kaur has come under fire after the team's disappointing performances against New Zealand and Australia, leading to questions about her captaincy.

The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) is reportedly planning to convene a meeting with head coach Amol Muzumdar and the selection committee to discuss the team's future strategy, including the potential need for a new captain. A source within the BCCI stated, "The Indian board has provided everything which the team wanted and we feel it's high time a new face leads the team going ahead."

Former Indian women's cricket team captain Mithali Raj has weighed in on the situation, emphasizing that if the BCCI is considering a leadership change, now is the ideal time to implement it. With another World Cup looming in two years, Raj suggested that delaying the decision could hinder the team's preparation. She mentioned potential candidates, including Smriti Mandhana, the current vice-captain, and Jemimah Rodrigues, who at 24, represents a youthful option with the energy and leadership qualities necessary for the role.

As discussions unfold, the cricketing community awaits the BCCI's decision on whether Harmanpreet Kaur will continue as captain or if a new leader will emerge to guide the Indian women's cricket team in the upcoming challenges.
