Utter disrespect! No journalists turn up for IND-W vs BAN-W 4th T20 press conference

In what can be termed as a shameful moment, India women’s cricket team’s press conference saw zero journalists in attendance. The post-match PC had India’s oldest debutant Asha Shobana in attendance. However, pictures of the press conference saw Shobana sitting all alone in the room with just one person in attendance.

Asha Shobana becomes oldest debutant for India

RCB star bowler Asha Sobhana made her debut for India in the 4th T20I match against Bangladesh at the Sylhet on Monday. The 33 year old spinner has become the oldest women player to make a debut for India.

Feeling so blessed to be in the Indian team. In 2012, I came into the probables and since then it has been a long journey. This is everything that I have been working for all these years,” Shobana said.

India beat Bangladesh by 56 runs (via DLS method) as they won a rain-hit 4th T20I. With this win, India sealed a series win against Bangladesh, a much-needed victory ahead of the ICC Women’s T20 World Cup set to take place later this year.
