India's World Cup-winning captain Kaur steps down from all formats

The decorated Indian cricket leader announced her decision on Tuesday, bringing to a close her captaincy of the national women's team in Test, One Day International and Twenty20 cricket.

Kaur's announcement marks a significant transition for Indian women's cricket, which has experienced considerable success under her leadership. The captain had guided the team to World Cup success, establishing herself as one of the sport's prominent figures in the subcontinent.

The resignation opens the way for selectors to chart a new direction for the women's team as it prepares for upcoming international fixtures and tournaments. The Board of Control for Cricket in India is expected to announce a successor in due course.

Kaur's departure comes as Indian women's cricket continues to elevate its profile and competitive standing on the global stage, with the team consistently featuring prominently in major international competitions.
