The Story in Brief
India batter Jemimah Rodrigues has been ruled out of the ACC Women’s Asia Cup in the UAE and the Asian Games in Japan after suffering a high-grade right hamstring tear, the BCCI said. Rodrigues injured herself on August 3 while playing for Southern Brave in The Hundred in England. She was assessed at the Centre of Excellence in Bengaluru.
The Women’s Selection Committee named Pratika Rawal, an ODI experienced opener, as Rodrigues’ replacement for the Asia Cup beginning August 28. India, the top seed in the Asian Games T20 competition, will begin their campaign in the quarter-finals against Japan.
The Indian Opinion
Another promising Indian cricketer sidelined by an injury picked up in a foreign league. The narrative will lean on bad luck, but the BCCI must ask why a high-grade tear was not caught and managed on the spot in England rather than after a flight to Bengaluru. Pratika Rawal’s return is a chance to test bench depth. The real test is how quickly Jemimah recovers for the World Cup later this year.
