India batter Harmanpreet Kaur has stepped down as national team captain across all three formats of international cricket. The 37-year-old announced her decision on Instagram, stating that she leaves the squad in a "good place" and is ready to play purely for the love of the game again. Her departure follows India's group-stage exit at the recent T20 World Cup.
Harmanpreet captained India in five Tests, 51 ODIs, and 155 T20Is, leading the team to a 50-over World Cup title and consecutive Asian Games titles. Her announcement came after meeting with head coach Amol Muzumdar, BCCI secretary Devajit Saikia, and vice-captain Smriti Mandhana, who is widely expected to assume the captaincy.
