\nIndia women\u2019s cricket captain Harmanpreet Kaur was criticised on Tuesday for being a bad example after she smashed the stumps and took a verbal swipe at umpires in a match against Bangladesh.
\nMedia reports said Kaur could be fined 75 per cent of her match fee and is also in danger of a two-game suspension for her behaviour in the one-day international, which ended in a rare tie on Saturday.
\nKaur hit the stumps after being given out on 14 and later said the umpiring was \u201cpathetic\u201d.
\nShe was then heard telling her opposite number Nigar Sultana to invite the umpires on stage after the post-match presentation, forcing the Bangladesh players to opt out of a joint photo session.
\n\u201cI have been watching cricket for a long time, but have never seen anyone behave that way India skipper Harmanpreet Kaur did after the game,\u201d former women\u2019s captain Diana Edulji wrote in her column in the Indian Express on Tuesday.
\n\u201cShe has set a bad example for her teammates. I say that because juniors look up to seniors and this, over a period of time, can impact the team culture,\u201d Edulji said.
\n\u201cIt was deplorable to see Harmanpreet call the umpires to pose with the Bangladesh team, suggesting that they were part of the team and playing for them.\u201d
\nIndian men\u2019s World Cup winner Madan Lal also blasted Kaur. \u201cHarmanpreet\u2019s behaviour against the Bangladesh women\u2019s team was pathetic,\u201d Lal tweeted.
\n\u201cShe is not bigger than the game. She got a very bad name for Indian cricket. BCCI (Board of Control for Cricket in India) should take very strict disciplinary action,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
