Jemimah Rodrigues is ruled out of India’s Women’s Asia Cup and Asian Games, with the BCCI naming Pratika Rawal as her replacement for the Asia Cup. Multiple reports say Rodrigues misses the upcoming events after developing a hamstring injury.
According to the accounts, Rodrigues sustains the injury on August 3 while playing for Southern Brave in The Hundred in England. She is assessed by the BCCI medical team at the Centre of Excellence in Bengaluru, which confirms the injury’s severity and leads to her withdrawal.
For the Asia Cup in Dubai, scheduled from August 28 to September 13, India’s selection committee chooses Pratika Rawal to fill the spot. Reports also add that Rawal returns to the senior group after featuring for India A. India is set to begin its Asia Cup campaign against Thailand on August 30, and the change forces India to adjust its batting plans and squad preparations for both the Asia Cup in the UAE and the Asian Games in Japan.
