India skipper Mithali Raj was on Monday chosen as the captain of the ICC Women’s World Cup 2017 team by the International Cricket Council.

The 34-year-old Indian was selected as captain after she led India to the final of the just-concluded ICC Women’s World Cup.

India lost to England by nine runs in one of the most thrilling finals at the Lord’s.

Mithali led by example, scoring 409 runs during the 30- day tournament.

She was at her best in a virtual quarter-final against New Zealand in Derby when she scored 109 to steer her side into the semifinals with a 186-run victory.

Her other notable scores in the tournament were 71 against England in the tournament opener in Derby, 46 against the West Indies in Taunton, 53 against Sri Lanka in Derby and 69 against Australia in Bristol.

Besides Mithali, Harmanpreet Kaur and Deepti Sharma were the other two Indians included in the ICC’s team.
