Bengaluru, Sep 25
India have been dealt a major injury scare ahead of their ICC Women’s ODI World Cup opener, as fast bowler Arundhati Reddy was wheelchaired off the field after suffering a blow to her left knee during a warm-up match against England on Thursday.
In the run-up to the competition, India faced tension due to injuries to pacers Renuka Singh Thakur, who was sidelined after the WPL 2025 due to a stress injury. Renuka managed to be fit in time for the World Cup and even played two games in India’s 2-1 series loss to Australia.
India were also made to sweat on pace-bowling all-rounder Amanjot Kaur’s fitness after she suffered a flare-up of a previous back injury in the tour of England and had been training at the CoE to be fully fit in time for the World Cup.
