Overview
- Flora Devonshire, 22, sustained a cut to her dominant left hand while fielding during training at Indore's Holkar Stadium.
- Team updates indicate she will be sidelined for weeks, with some reports putting the recovery at two to three.
- The selectors named 29-year-old seamer Hannah Rowe as replacement, bringing 60 ODI appearances and subcontinent experience.
- Head coach Ben Sawyer noted Rowe is not a like-for-like substitute for the off-spinning all-rounder but adds useful all-round skills.
- Rowe is expected to arrive on October 7 ahead of the October 10 match against Bangladesh, and Devonshire did not play in the opening 89-run loss to Australia.
