In a letter written to Rai, COA member Edulji accused the chairman and BCCI CEO Rahul Johri of breaking rules while appointing Ravi Shastri as the men's team coach in July last year.

In her recent email skipper Harmanpreet backed former coach Ramesh Powar who has been targeted by Mithali over her exclusion from the squad.

On Monday, things became more dramatic with Harmanpreet throwing her weight behind the former spinner.

Harmanpreet and Smriti have made it clear that Powar alone wasn't behind Mithali's omission from the semifinal playing XI.

After Ramesh Powar's departure, it remains to be seen how T20 captain Harmanpreet Kaur and ODI captain Mithali Raj bury their differences.

Harmanpreet, who was the second highest run-getter in the recently concluded Women's World T20, after Australia opener Alyssa Healy, has gained three slots to reach the third position.

Mithali Raj was dropped for the semi-final clash against England despite being fit and scoring two back-to-back fifties in the tournament.

It is expected that Johri and Karim will present a detailed report to the CoA which will then assess and, if required, speak to the individuals concerned.

Mithali's omission from the playing eleven against England triggered a controversy and it was intensified after their dreams of winning a maiden ICC title was shattered.

Three players from England, two from Australia and one each from Pakistan, New Zealand and the Windies have also been named in the eleven.

CoA chief Vinod Rai was unhappy that players' agents are making unsavoury comments about team selection.

Although it was a call made by the team management, retired pacer Jhulan Goswami admits that she 'felt bad' on seeing Mithali benched before the crunch clash against England.

The former captain's manager Annisha Gupta called Harmanpreet a "manipulative, lying, immature, undeserving captain" and further went on to say that the women's team believed in "politics not sport".

Mithali Raj was left out in the last group match against Australia, which India won by 48 runs and on Friday, Harmanpreet Kaur decided to go with the winning combination.

England Women first bundled India Women for a low total of 112 and then chased it down comfortably with the help of Sciver and Jones fifties.

The Harmanpreet Kaur-led side has had a fantastic run in the T20 tournament so far, beating all three opponents in the group stage, including Australia.

The Indian women's team will look to avenge their women's World Cup loss in the final to England last year at Lord's.

En route to the semifinals, Harmanpreet Kaur's side also hammered three-time former champions Australia in its last pool match.

After a below-par fielding performance against Pakistan, Indian women were excellent against Australia.
