<p>Harmanpreet Kaur can&rsquo;t survive in the team on the 171 she scored in the 2017 World Cup and it is time to drop her starting with the third ODI against New Zealand, said former India captain Diana Edulji.</p>
<p>Edulji also wants to drop Shafali Verma for the next game with Smriti Mandhana expected to return after completing quarantine.&nbsp;</p>
<p>Harmanpreet, 32, has made only two 50 plus scores since the 2017 World Cup in England where India reached the final. She had fitness issues last year but after an impressive WBBL, she was expected to replicate that performance at the highest level. She is yet to fire in the bilateral rubber against New Zealand with India staring at another series defeat.</p>
<p>&ldquo;If you are going with the same yardstick which was used to drop Jemimah Rodrigues, what the coach [Ramesh Powar] had mentioned, the same yardstick should be applied to Harmanpreet,&rdquo; Edulji said.</p>
<p>&ldquo;I am very disappointed with her. She was my favourite player, but you can&rsquo;t survive on that one innings [171 against Australia in 2017]. She is only one innings away from a big knock, but the effort has to be there. I will be the happiest if she proves me wrong. I just want the team to win the World Cup,&rdquo; Edulji added.</p>
