Time for introspection: Diana following India's Women's WT20 loss

Diana Edulji

Former India Diana Edulji has called for introspection following the team's crushing loss in the T20 World Cup final against Australia.

"Let us not be too harsh on them. They had a good run. We broke the semi-finals jinx. The loss has shown that T20 is not our forte, our forte is ODI cricket. It is time for good some introspection on the strengths and weaknesses and put it into practice because the 50-over World Cup is just around the corner [next year]," said Diana.

The former Committee of Administrators member added: "I want them to get over the loss quickly because they have a big World Cup coming. We need a medium pacer definitely. If Shikha breaks down, then there is no one and fielding and running between the wickets has to improve come what may."
