Mithali Raj on her decision to retire

While speaking in an exclusive conversation with Republic TV after announcing her decision to hang up her boots, Mithali Raj said, "I think, right now after my retirement, I have been mentioning that life has been on a fast track for all these years. Now, I have got a lot of time to do a few other things, that I couldn't in all these years. And I don’t have to plan a week or a day or the next tournament because obviously, I have taken retirement. But, I guess my training continues in terms of the fitness and physical activities that I have been doing for all these years. So, in that sense, it has not changed much."
