India will not participate in tri-series, confirms Clare Connor

Former England cricketer and the current managing director of women’s cricket of ECB, Clare Connor confirmed that India will not travel to England to participate in the tri-series. She also added that the series with South Africa alone.

India was supposed to participate in the tri-series that involves South Africa too in England. However, due to the increasing case of COVID19 in India, BCCI will not send the team for participation.

Adding more, Connor said to Women’s CricZone that this series was supposed to happen in June-July and they had to postpone because of the increasing cases. She added that they have heard a last couple of days back from BCCI that the number of cases in the country has worsened and there is a complication in the travel ban both inside and outside of the country. So, India bowed out, she added.

She also said that it was disappointing as she was expecting to see the young Indian team in action. She also confirmed that ECB will be going ahead as a bilateral series and is hoping to get things done with South Africa to run the tournament. The tournament will be telecasted in SKY, she confirmed.

Earlier, it was confirmed that England will be focusing more on the ODIs as a practice to next year’s World Cup.

BCCI is yet to form a selection committee for Indian women’s team. The tenure of the five-member team headed by Hemlatha Kala came to an end this year. The board began to welcome new candidates for the post and reportedly more than 15 former Indian women cricketers have applied for the job. However, BCCI is yet to take a call on the committee.
