India wicketkeeper-batter Yastika Bhatia is set to return to Australia’s Women’s Big Bash League after Brisbane Heat signed her as a replacement. The signing is made to cover for Jess Jonassen, who is unavailable due to an injury ahead of the new WBBL season.
All outlets describe the move as Brisbane Heat finalising its squad by bringing in Bhatia to fill Jonassen’s spot. The reports also place the change within the WBBL schedule, indicating Bhatia’s return to the league and Jonassen’s absence affecting team composition. ESPN Cricinfo adds additional context about Bhatia’s prior WBBL involvement, while NDTV frames the transaction around the replacement and squad announcement.
