Why is Jemimah Rodrigues not in the India Women’s World Cup 2022 team?
Now talking about Jemimah Rodrigues not getting selected in the India’s 15 Women Squad for ODI World Cup 2022, one thing is clear that she is not out because of an injury. Chief Selector Neetu David told the reporters that the 5-member panel is not allowed to speak on the selection of India squad for 2022 Women’s World Cup so as of now there is a lot of uncertainity about this selection. But yeah one thing is for sure that netizens are seeing Jemimah’s exclusion as a big blow to India Women’s world cup winning hopes.
