Overview

  • India begin their ICC Women’s Cricket World Cup campaign on September 30 against Sri Lanka at the ACA Stadium in Guwahati.
  • Reddy was wheeled off after an awkward landing versus England but bowled nine overs in the next warm-up against New Zealand, removing Isabella Gaze and Jess Kerr and crediting medical staff for a quick turnaround.
  • Spinner Shree Charani, who shifted from medium-pace to spin during COVID-era disruptions, claimed three wickets in the New Zealand warm-up.
  • Reddy, originally an aspiring wicketkeeper, became a pacer under coach Ganesh and used a standout 2024 WPL season with Delhi Capitals to earn an India recall and her ODI debut last year.
  • Both players, from Telangana and Andhra Pradesh, have emphasized the lift from home crowds with matches scheduled in Visakhapatnam as India chase a first women’s global title.
