4 dias ago 0 3

Wicket batsman Yastika Bhatia has been ruled out of India’s upcoming ODI series in Australia due to a wrist injury she picked up during the WBBL. In its place, India called Uma Chetrywhich has no limit on format.

Chetry has played four T20Is, all this year. His debut was against South Africa in July. Earlier this month, she was the second highest run-scorer in the domestic T20 Challenger Trophy with 231 runs at a strike rate of 154.00. She also scored the only hundred of the competition, 122 off 71 balls.

Chetry also has experience of touring Australia with the India A team in August, although his return was underwhelming. In four matches across formats, she scored 7 and 11 in T20s, 16 in the one-day game and 2 and 47 in the four-day game.

Bhatia was the second highest run-getter for the Melbourne Stars – despite losing the last three games – scoring 154 runs in six matches at a strike rate of 104.76. Stars, however, finished bottom of the points table with two wins from ten matches.

Before his WBBL stint, Bhatia played the three-match ODI series against New Zealand at home and scored 84 runs in three innings. She was part of the World Cup T20 squad but was unable to play.

The first two ODIs against Australia will be played at the Allan Border Field in Brisbane on December 5th and 8th. The third and final match will be played at the WACA ground in Perth on December 11th.
