The Story in Brief
Jemimah Rodrigues has been ruled out of the ongoing Hundred after suffering a hamstring injury while playing for Southern Brave, The Hindu reports. The 25-year-old has been replaced by Australian all-rounder Charlie Knott for the remainder of the tournament. Southern Brave confirmed the change on Saturday.
Her participation in the Women's T20 Asia Cup, starting August 28, is now in doubt. India begin their campaign against Thailand on August 30. Jemimah had scored 143 runs in six innings for the Brave at an average of 35.75 and a strike rate of 131.19. She has just under three weeks to recover.
The Indian Opinion
This injury brings back familiar worries about the workload on India's core players. Jemimah has been playing non-stop, WPL, international tours, now The Hundred. The BCCI and the player's camp need to ask whether cramming leagues before a continental tournament is sustainable. The real test is whether she makes the Asia Cup starting XI on August 30. If she does, the management got the recovery right. If not, the scheduling debate will only grow louder.
