He is a part of the system – Neetu David
Shafali was considered the next big thing in Indian cricket, and she emerged as a fresh air breath in Indian women’s cricket ecosystems as she was a naturally aggressive batsman.

The batsman began a brilliant performance in international cricket, but after undergoing a lean patch for an extended period of time, he was dropped by the BCCI selection committee.

Speaking about the snob of BCCI Chairperson, Shafali Verma of the selection committee, Neetu David said that the young batsman is still under the plan of things.
Chief selector David said, “She is playing for India A in Australia. She is a part of the system. We are keeping an eye on her. The more she plays, the more experience for the future, the more experience,” the chief selector David said.
We just want Shafali Verma to play and get some experiences – Neetu David
Neetu David further said that he has chosen the best possible players for the World Cup 2025 and wants Shafali Verma to continue to gain more experience by playing India.
“Our team performed well in England. We have been working on this squad for a long time. I think the team we have chosen is best, so we do not want to play with the team before the World Cup. We just want Shafali to keep playing and gain some experiences.”
In particular, Shafali has recorded scores of 3, 3, 41, 36, 4 and 52 against Australia A.
