Just days after India beat South Africa in the finals of the ICC Women's World Cup 2025 in Navi Mumbai, the former skipper Shantha Ragaswamy asked the BCCI to remove the World Cup-winning skipper Harmanpreet Kaur from captaincy.
The BCCI is yet to comment on the future of Indian captain Harmanpreet Kaur, since they have a long gap before they begin their campaign, which is scheduled to start in early January. The focus of the Indian team would next be on the shortest format since they will be aiming at the ICC Women's T20 World Cup 2026 in England.
"Your career has just begun. Women's cricket will grow massively in the next four to six years, and there will be more opportunities. I hope you make the most of them and one day, like Jhulan, we’ll stand here and say, 'Richa—India captain.' You're just 22... You’ve got time. All blessings and heartiest congratulations," Sourav Ganguly added.
"The role she plays batting lower down the order is very difficult' - Sourav Ganguly
She smashed the most special innings during their chase against South Africa, where she missed a maiden World Cup century after scoring a fiery 77-ball 94. She also smashed 12 sixes in the World Cup, which is the second-most by any batter in the World.
"People may remember Jemimah’s 127 not out or Harmanpreet’s 89 in the semifinals, but Richa’s strike rate of 130-plus made the difference. What she’s done so simply is equal in value to Smriti or Harman,” Sourav Ganguly added.
Richa Ghosh honoured by the West Bengal Government
Richa was handed the Banga Bhushan award and appointed the Deputy Superintendent of Police (DSP) by the West Bengal Government, and was also given a gold chain. The Cricket Association also rewarded her with INR 34 lakhs, that is, 1 lakh for every run she scored in the final.
