India Pacer Arundhati Reddy Wheelchaired Off During World Cup Warm-Up vs England

India awaits medical assessment to determine her availability for the Sept. 30 opener.

Overview

  • Reddy landed awkwardly on her left leg attempting a return catch off Heather Knight in the 13th over in Bengaluru.
  • Medical staff tried to assist her off the field before a wheelchair was brought on when she could not bear weight.
  • Before exiting, she returned 4-0-34-1 and removed opener Amy Jones, with Jemimah Rodrigues completing the over.
  • The ICC said clarity is awaited on her tournament participation as India manage existing pace-bowling fitness issues involving Renuka Singh Thakur and Amanjot Kaur.
  • Reserve pacer Sayali Satghare is under consideration if a replacement is required, with India to play New Zealand on Sept. 27 and open against Sri Lanka on Sept. 30.
