Australia seamer Darcie Brown is ruled out of the upcoming WBBL season due to a back injury, ending her chance to feature before it begins. ABC Australia reports that her absence also puts her participation in Australia’s T20 Women’s Champions Trophy campaign in doubt.
ESPN Cricinfo adds that Brown has not yet returned to training after sustaining a disc injury during Australia A’s tour of India last month. The injury is reported to have interrupted her preparation and led to the decision to exclude her from the WBBL.
Across the two outlets, the key points are consistent: Brown sustains a disc-related back injury while on the Australia A tour, she remains unavailable for training, and this results in her being ruled out of the WBBL. Her availability for the national T20 tournament is described as uncertain rather than confirmed, reflecting the ongoing assessment of her recovery.
