Mithali Raj to retire after 2022 World Cup in New Zealand

MUMBAI: Indian women's ODI captain Mithali Raj on Saturday indicated that the 2022 World Cup in New Zealand will be her "swansong" after 23 illustrious years in international cricket.

The 38-year-old Mithali, arguably, the finest woman cricketer that India has ever produced, also said that she is seriously looking for some good seam bowling options for the lively New Zealand tracks that will be on offer next year.

"It's been 21 years of international cricket and I know 2022 is my swansong -- the World Cup," Mithali said during the virtual launch of the book 1971: The Beginning of India's Cricketing Greatness, published by Harper Collins and co-authored by Boria Majumdar and Gautam Bhattacharya. Agencies
