Team India suffered a setback just four weeks before the women’s ODI started the World Cup. Wicketkeeper batsman Yastika Bhatia is out of the tournament. The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) itself gave information that Yastika Bhatia suffered a knee injury during practice, due to which she had to be out of the World Cup. He has been replaced by another wicketkeeper batsman Uma Chhetri.

BCCI gave updates on Thursday and told that Yastika Bhatia sat in her knees while practicing in Visakhapatnam. He has been replaced by 23 -year -old wicketkeeper batsman Uma Chhetri in the World Cup squad. Uma has only 4 T20 matches experience so far, she has not made her ODI debut till now. Chhetri’s selection in the senior team means that they will not be part of the India A team for the Warm Up match.

The BCCI further stated in its statement, “Uma Chhetri is being included in the series and women’s ODI World Cup squad against Australia. She will no longer be a part of the India A squad, which is going to play a warm up match before the World Cup.” Chhetri does not have any experience of ODI matches, it is a matter of increasing concern for Team India.
