Shikhar Dhawan: Recently a bad news came out for Indian cricket fans. Actually, senior batsman Shikhar Dhawan announced his retirement from domestic cricket as well as international cricket. Let us tell you that he has been out of Team India for a long time. He played his last match in the year 2022.

However, after this the selectors did not give him a chance again. Disappointed by this, Dhawan took this step. Let us tell you that he will not play in IPL also. After the Indian opener, another cricketer is going to take a big step like retirement. However, she is not a player of the men's team but of the women's team.

Let us know in detail who we are talking about.

This female player will announce her retirement

Actually, the female cricketer we are talking about is one of the oldest players of Team India.

Her name is Ekta Bisht. This slow left arm orthodox bowler may soon say goodbye to international cricket.

BCCI announced the 15-member squad for the upcoming ICC Women's T20 World Cup 2024 yesterday. Ekta's name is missing from it. However, she had been waiting for a long time to play in this tournament. In such a situation, not being selected in the team must have been very disappointing for her.

India will start the campaign on this day

Team India will fly to UAE next month. Actually, this team will go to participate in the ICC Women's T20 World Cup 2024 under the leadership of Harmanpreet Kaur.

The board has released the squad for this. Smriti Mandhana has been appointed as the vice-captain. The team is going to start its campaign against New Zealand on 4 October.
