Lisa Sthalekar slams BCCI on Veda Krishnamurthy

Earlier this month, Veda Krishnamurthy lost her elder sister, two weeks after her mother succumbed to coronavirus.

Former Australian women’s team captain Lisa Sthalekar feels the BCCI neither checked on Veda Krishnamurthy after the twin tragedies in her family nor communicated to the bereaved India cricketer its decision to not consider her for the upcoming tour of England. Earlier this month, the flamboyant middle-order India batter lost her elder sister Vatsala Shivakumar to COVID-19, two weeks after her mother succumbed to the dreaded virus. On expected lines, she was not included in the Indian Test and ODI team for next month’s tour of the United Kingdom, but ICC Hall of Famer Sthalekar was not convinced with the BCCI’s handling of the whole episode.
