As the Women’s T20 World Cup 2024 looms, the Indian women’s cricket team is facing significant injury setbacks during their preparatory camp in Bangalore.
Multiple key players are battling injuries as per Revsportz causing concern among fans and management alike. However, there remains hope that the squad will recover in time for the tournament.
Arundhati Reddy setback
One of the primary concerns revolves around pacer Arundhati Reddy, who recently made her return to the national team after a standout domestic season.
Arundhati Reddy is currently nursing a shoulder injury, forcing her to sit out from bowling as she focuses on rehabilitation. Despite the setback, there is optimism within the camp that she will regain full fitness before the World Cup begins.
Pooja Vastrakar pushes through injury
All-rounder Pooja Vastrakar, a key player in India’s bowling line-up, is also dealing with a shoulder injury.
Unlike Arundhati Reddy, Pooja Vastrakar has been training with the aid of painkiller injections, determined to stay in shape for the upcoming tournament. Her presence will be vital to India’s World Cup campaign, and team management is hopeful that she will be fit to play.
Shreyanka Patil rollercoaster recovery
Shreyanka Patil, a young spinner who missed the Asia Cup due to a fractured finger, is another player on the mend. After recovering from her finger injury, she recently twisted her ankle, putting her availability in doubt.
Fortunately, Patil is close to full recovery and is expected to be ready for the World Cup, much to the relief of the team.
Jemimah Rodrigues finger injury
Star batter Jemimah Rodrigues has also suffered a finger injury while fielding, causing concern about her readiness. However, Rodrigues has continued to bat with a taped finger, and there is cautious optimism that she will be fit in time for the World Cup.
India Womens Cricket Team: Hopes for Full-Strength squad
With the T20 World Cup 2024 just around the corner, the Indian women’s team is racing against time to ensure their top players are match-ready. Fans are keeping their fingers crossed that these injuries won’t affect the team’s chances in the tournament. As India looks to challenge for the title, the focus remains on fielding a fully fit squad when they head to Dubai for the T20 World Cup.
