    Don't See A Rationale Behind Anushka's Call-up; Radha Hasn't Done Enough To Cement Spot, Feels Anjum Chopra

    By IANS News April 15, 2026 • 11:54 AM View: 118
    Inter Zonal Multi Day Trophy: Former India captain Anjum Chopra said she doesn’t see any rationale behind Anushka Sharma's call-up for the upcoming five-game series against South Africa, saying an India cap is ‘worth gold’ and must not be handed out hastily. Anjum also noted that left-arm spinner Radha Yadav isn’t a surprise to her as she has failed to cement her place despite repeated opportunities.

    Right-handed batter Anushka had a memorable maiden Women’s Premier League (WPL) stint this year, amassing 177 runs in seven games at an average of 25.28 and strike-rate of 129.19 for Gujarat Giants. She went on to make 116 runs in five innings at an average of 23.2 and strike-rate of 104.50 in India 'A' winning the Women’s Asia Cup Rising Stars title in Bangkok.

    "I don't see a rationale at all. I'm not saying that Anushka is not a quality player - she is one and showed immense promise in the WPL in the first two-three games that she played before she got injured. After the injury, she came back and to have that kind of an experience with the best of Australian cricketers like Gardner and Mooney and doing well, holding her ground - it was excellent.
