Players expressing dissatisfaction to umpires' decisions on the field isn't a new thing but what Harmanpreet Kaur did in the tied third ODI against Bangladesh crossed a few lines. From the act of shattering her stumps to calling the umpires for end-of-series photographs with the team, the India skipper's antics became a hot topic of discussion in the cricketing spectrum. Even former India captain Diana Edulji slammed Harmanpreet's actions, suggesting it was probably because of her poor form with the bat that Harmanpreet lost her cool in the manner she did.

Former Pakistan women's cricket team skipper Bismah Maroof decided to opt out of Hangzhou Asian Games because of the event's rules that do not allow the competing athletes to carry their children. The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) announced Maroof's decision while naming the 15-player squad for the competition which was picked by a committee comprising of Saleem Jaffar, head coach Mark Coles and captain Nida Dar. “The team is unfortunate to miss out on the services of Bismah Maroof for this event as she would not have been able to accompany her infant daughter to the Games village due to the regulations in place,” Head of Women Cricket, Tania Mallick said.

Indian women's cricket team captain Harmanpreet Kaur's scathing criticism of the umpires in the tied third ODI against Bangladesh has put her in the spotlight.
