Harmanpreet Kaur, was instrumental in seeing Team India finish as the finalists in the recently concluded ICC Women’s World Cup 2017. Harmanpreet was the star of the show when she single handedly thrashed Australia Women in the semi-final tie.
Harmanpreet Kaur was also offered the post of the Deputy Superintendent of Police (DSP) by the Punjab Chief Minister Amarinder Singh. However, she is in no hurry to accept the post.
According to India Today, Kaur conceded that she will discuss the offer with her family before accepting it. Also, she noted that she is indebted to her current employer – the Indian Railways – for having done so much for her in the past.
“I am waiting to go back home and the family will sit together before arriving at any final decision. Railways gave us jobs when we had nothing. They have supported us (10 out of 15 players from the World Cup squad were from Railways) all these years. We are always going to be indebted to our organisation,” Harmanpreet Kaur said.
“I so badly want to go back home. It has been almost five or six months since I have been away. The first thing I want to do after returning to Moga is to have some home cooked food made by my mother,” Kaur added.
Meanwhile, her captain Mithali Raj is already focusing on the next year’s Women’s World T20.
“I can’t say right now whether I’ll be captaining the side again in the next World Cup or not. However, I will continue to give my best and doing well in the 2018 World T20 remains the next major priority right now,” Raj told India Today.
