Overview
- Warwickshire announced the short-term signing of India opener Pratika Rawal on Tuesday to cover the rest of their 2026 campaign.
- Rawal is confirmed available for selection from the Metro Bank One-Day Cup round beginning August 19 and is expected to be in the squad for the Edgbaston match against Yorkshire.
- The 25-year-old is returning from a knee injury sustained while playing for India A in Taunton on July 1 that forced her to miss India’s one-off Test at Lord’s.
- Warwickshire sit fifth in the One-Day Cup table, two points behind third place, and head coach Ali Maiden said the signing will strengthen the squad as they push to reach the eliminator stage.
- Rawal arrives with strong recent form and records — including rapid ODI run milestones and a key role in India’s 2025 World Cup — and the county stint will provide English conditions match practice and a path back to full international readiness.
