Promising India batter and debutant Shubha Satheesh, who scored 69 in the first innings of the India vs England women’s Test at Navi Mumbai, has been ruled out of the match due to a finger injury. As per a tweet by the BCCI Women, the talented batter is battling a broken finger.
Despite being India’s best batter in the first innings, where the team scored 428, Shubha could not come out to bat in the second due to the injury. She was slated to bat at no. 3 once again. Meanwhile, in her absence, Yastika Bhatia was promoted up the order, but could only manage to score nine.
