India opener Pratika Rawal is ruled out of the upcoming historic Lord’s Test against England because of a knee injury. Multiple outlets report that head coach Amol Muzumdar links the injury to an incident earlier this month during Pratika Rawal’s participation with India A against England A in Taunton. She sustains a cut on her knee during India A’s second 50-over match, and the injury requires stitches. As a result, Rawal does not take part in the Lord’s Test, which is scheduled to begin in London on Friday. The reports describe the injury as occurring while she was playing for India A rather than during the main India camp. With Rawal unavailable, India will need to adjust their batting lineup for the opening match at Lord’s against England. The decision reflects the impact of the knee injury sustained during the England A versus India A series earlier in the month.
