Vrinda Rathi, based in Mumbai, along with N Janani of Chennai, will change the gender norm prevailing in the Indian cricket referee circuit. Both have pbaded the arbitration examination of the BCCI at the national level.
This means that the duo can now officiate in boys 'and girls' cricket matches across the country.
Vrinda, a 29-year-old fitness trainer based in Navi-Mumbai, has been a BCCI scorer since 2010. It's during her stint as a scorer at the 2013 Women's World Cup that Rathi for the first time saw a New Zealand referee, Kathy Cross.
Vrinda Rathi also refereed many local matches, which she said was an interesting experience. Speaking to YOU about it, she said: "At first there were some fears about the quality that a woman umpire can bring. When everyone knows you want to talk business in the middle of the field, your bad does not matter. "
However, she thinks the inherent patience and" lack of rigidity "of women help her to do the job.
"The ego is something that an umpire can not afford," she says.
As Vrinda will be on the field in the coming days, we look forward to women as she breaks the glbad ceiling, because decision-making on the ground, should not be a privilege reserved for men.
