Harmanpreet Kaur is the captain of the Indian women’s cricket team and is one of the finest players that the country. Unfortunately, she has been suspended from the next two International matches on grounds of breaching ICC’s code of conduct. During the India and Bangladesh match, Harmanpreet Kaur was bowled during the 34h over by spinner Nahida Akhtar. Out of extreme frustration of getting out, she hit the stump hard with her bat, and that was her first breach. For this, the player was also charged a 50 per cent fine that will be taken from her match fee, and three discredit points were also added to her record.

Her second breach was when she insulted the match’s umpire during her speech at the end of the match. Harmanpreet Kaur called the umpire “Pathetic”, and this was not taken lightly by the ICC. She expressed her extreme disappointment in the umpire’s decision and was charged an additional 25 per cent fine from her fee. One demerit point was added to her record for this too!

Harmanpreet Kaur will no longer be seen in the next two International games and she has accepted the consequences of her actions too. Well, the opinions on this remained divided on Twitter. Some people came out in support of Harmanpreet whereas some called her “Arrogant”.
Anyone calling Harmanpreet Kaur's behaviour rude or crass has no idea about BCBs tactics.
The whole series was against India, pathetic decisions, even close run outs went against India, poor treatment of Indian players, and support staff.

Harmanpreet Kaur is no doubt a great cricketer but a very classless woman. Doesn't know how to respect the opponents when demeaning their achievement. Smriti Mandhana is a matured woman and handle the media with grace and humility.BCCI should take strict action against Kaur. https://t.co/ALbsCMMamu
