India Sweat Over Arundhati Reddy Injury After Warm-Up Defeat to England

The ICC says her World Cup status awaits medical assessment.

Overview

  • Reddy was wheelchaired off in the 13th over after landing awkwardly on her left leg while attempting a return catch off Heather Knight in Bengaluru.
  • Medical staff attended on the field as she was unable to put weight on the leg, with Jemimah Rodrigues completing the over.
  • England piled on 339 before India were bowled out for 187 in the warm-up, sharpening questions about India’s bowling form days before the tournament.
  • If Reddy is ruled out, reserve pacer Sayali Satghare is viewed as the like-for-like replacement under ICC procedures.
  • India have already replaced injured wicketkeeper Yastika Bhatia with Uma Chetry, with recent fitness concerns also around Renuka Singh Thakur and Amanjot Kaur; the opener against Sri Lanka is on September 30 after a final warm-up against New Zealand on September 27.
