India women's team coach Ramesh Powar opened up about the omission of Jemimah Rodrigues and Shikha Pandey from the squad that will feature in the ODI World Cup and New Zealand. The former spinner sent a stern message that if the players don't perform then they won't get their chances.
"This is not a one-time communication, it's been for a long period of time, at least last six months. I have been very clear about the roles. I told them specifically what is expected of them. This is a competition, a profession that you're performing. If you don't perform you don't get your chances," he said in a virtual media interaction.
Powar further said that the players who have missed the bus have an idea about the same.
"Again, the batting unit is consistent with Yastika, Smriti, and Mithali so everyone is consistent so we didn't change much. At the end of it, seven of us getting together and picking the right team and backing the players, that matters at the end. Every player who is not there in the team knows why they are not there," he added.
