Answer

In 2019, Indian women's cricket team captain Mithali Raj announced her retirement from Twenty20 International (T20I) cricket to extend her One Day International (ODI) career. Raj felt that with the 2020 ICC Women's T20 World Cup in Australia approaching, she wanted to give younger players a chance to establish themselves in the shortest format, while continuing to lead the team in the 50-over format.
