The. Will Mithali Raj say goodbye to cricket after India's defeat against Africa? Know his statement

- When emotions are under control I will decide for the future of my career: Mithali

New Delhi, March 28, 2022, Monday

Mithali Raje, captain of the Indian women's cricket team, signaled her retirement before the World Cup but was knocked out of the World Cup semifinals after losing to India vs South Africa on Sunday. "This is not the right time to make decisions about the future," Mithali said. Mithali, the only woman cricketer to play in 6 ODI World Cups, said she could not come out of despair after losing by three wickets in the last league match against South Africa.

The 39-year-old cricketer, when asked about his retirement, said: "You have not given me even an hour to understand what happened today and think about my future. It is very frustrating when you have been preparing hard for the World Cup for over a year and your campaign ends like this. It takes time to accept and move on. Whatever the future of any player, I never really thought about my future.

Mithali is the third cricketer (male and female) to play in 6 World Cups after Sachin Tendulkar and Javed Miandad. Earlier in the day, she had hinted at retiring, saying "one cycle of life is over" as she looks to end her journey. However, he said on Sunday that he would decide for the future of his career when "emotions are under control".

Asked if this was his last match in the Indian team's jersey, Mithali said, "I am not in a position to talk about this right now. It would not be appropriate for me to comment on my future. Emotions are hard to control right now given the way we have performed today.

"If the players of one generation go, the next generation will come," Mithali said. The team has to move on. The team always changes after every World Cup. '
