The controversy surrounding Mithali Raj\u2019s omission from the Indian women\u2019s cricket team for the ICC\u2009Women\u2019s World T20 encounter against England is showing no signs of slowing down.<\/p>\n
Mithali on Thursday termed it as the darkest days of her life after allegations were heaped on her following a fallout with coach Ramesh Powar. Earlier, Powar alleged that Mithali threatened retirement over the batting position in the middle of an international tournament and also threw tantrums during the recently concluded competition.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m deeply saddened and hurt by the aspersions cast on me. My commitment to the game and 20 years of playing for my country. The hard work, sweat, in vain,\u201d Mithali tweeted.<\/p>\n
\u201cToday, my patriotism doubted, my skill set questioned and all the mud slinging it\u2019s the darkest day of my life. May god give strength,\u201d she added.<\/p>\n
In response to the tweet, Powar came up with a cryptic message on the social media platform as he simply tweeted out a picture of a quote that read – \u201cForgive others not because they deserve forgiveness, but because you deserve peace\u201d.<\/p>\n
Despite being match fit, Mithali was dropped from the playing XI against England in the Women\u2019s World Cup semi-final match, which triggered the controversy.<\/p>\n
India lost the match, triggering Mithali accusing Powar and Committee of Administrators member Diana Edulji of bias.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
