Accept the loss & dissect what went wrong: David

NEETU David, former India spinner and chairperson of the India women's team selection panel, accepted the responsibility for the group-stage exit but at the same time defended captain Harmanpreet Kaur after the team failed to make the semi-final for the first time since 2016.

“We cannot deny the fact that India's performance was not up to the mark in the World Cup. It is a fact, but for me, what is more important is what we learn from these situations,” David told reporters on the sidelines of her induction into the ICC Hall of Fame. “I believe Harman has been in terrific form and age is just a number. I understand that change is the only constant and it will happen, but the time has to be right. It is a collective decision for management to take,” she added.
