The controversy over dropping Mithali Raj for the World T20 Semi Final against England is getting bigger day-by-day. Coach Ramesh Power alleged Mithali Raj has threatened retirement over batting position, threw tantrums and created chaos during the World T20.

In reply, Mithali Raj said: 'It's the darkest day of my life. I'm deeply saddened & hurt by the aspersions cast on me. My commitment to the game & 20yrs of playing for my country.The hard work, sweat, in vain. Today, my patriotism doubted, my skill set questioned & all the mud slinging - it's the darkest day of my life. May god give strength'.

Earlier, Mithali Raj accused Coach Ramesh Powar of humiliating & trying to destroy her. Then, The Coach questioned the conduct of the Senior Most Player during the World T20 in West Indies. In the report to the BCCI, Ramesh Powar mentioned that Mithali Raj has threatened to leave the tournament midway after being moved from the opening slot. He alleged, 'Mithali Raj was after personal milestones instead of team's cause. Her attitude is like..Mithali Comes first & then India. Hope, She stops blackmailing & pressurising coaches'.

Ramesh Powar's tenure as coach ends on Friday. BCCI is unlikely to extend his tenure or re-appoint him as coach for Indian Women's Cricket Team.
