NADIA, West Bengal: A woman cricketer who had been a regular in the Bengal under-19 team killed herself yesterday after failing to make the State’s senior squad. Twenty-three-year-old Jhuma Sarkar—trained by the coach of Jhulan Goswami, a fellow Nadia fast bowler who has made it big on the world stage—had been depressed at peers pulling past her, the girl’s family said. The former Calcutta University player hanged herself with her dupatta from a ceiling fan at her home in Hanskhali, about 75 km from Calcutta.
A waste of life.
SO?
Cricket or tennis or football – whatever the sports that is not the only thing in life. Younger generation should be made to understand that if they fail in one field there may be so many other fields in which they can excel. Performances are always relative and a team can only a certain number of players and even the next person has to be dropped. There may be so many considerations for the selection. But dying for the sake of the game…sorry, I only sympathise with her parents. Let God give them the courage to face life. May her soul rest in peace.
Huh!!!!
