The problems are not just between Mithali Raj and Harmanpreet Kaur, the big issue veteran batswoman is facing is against newly-appointed coach Ramesh Powar. Raj, who was shockingly dropped for the ICC Women's World T20 semi-final against England, wrote a scathing letter to BCCI CEO Rahul Johri and General Manager Syed Saba Karim a day after she met the latter in person.

Raj alleged that Powar's behaviour towards her was humiliating, unfair and discriminatory. She also accused the coach of putting her under house arrest for the match against Australia, which she did not play due to a knee injury. Raj, who had opened the innings in the T20s against Sri Lanka and India 'A' before leaving for the World T20, said Powar's behaviour changed from the time they landed in the Caribbean.
