India Women’s Team: Injury Blow and Squad Update
India faced a setback ahead of the tournament as Yastika Bhatia was ruled out due to a knee injury sustained during the preparatory camp in Visakhapatnam. Bhatia, who has been a second-choice wicketkeeper for India, will be monitored by the BCCI Medical Team, with fans hoping for a swift recovery.
In a swift move, the BCCI named uncapped Assam cricketer Uma Chetry as Bhatia’s replacement. Chetry, who has played seven T20Is so far, will now join the Indian squad for the ODI series against Australia starting September 14, and subsequently the ICC Women’s World Cup. This inclusion marks a significant opportunity for Chetry to showcase her talent on the world stage.
India’s ODI series against Australia will include three matches: September 14 and 17 in Chandigarh, followed by September 20 in New Delhi. Meanwhile, India’s World Cup campaign kicks off against Sri Lanka on September 30.
