Wicketkeeper-batter Yastika Bhatia has been ruled out of the ODI series against Australia and the subsequent ICC Women’s Cricket World Cup 2025. The Women’s Selection Committee has named Uma Chetry, previously listed among the reserves, as her replacement.
During India’s preparatory camp in Vizag, Yastika sustained a knee injury that will sideline her for several months. No official timeframe has been provided by the BCCI regarding her recovery.
“Yastika Bhatia sustained an injury to her left knee during India’s preparatory camp in Vizag. The BCCI Medical Team is monitoring her progress, and the team wishes her a speedy recovery,” stated a BCCI release.
As a like-for-like replacement, Uma, who is yet to make her ODI debut, has been called up. The Assam-based cricketer, who was initially part of the India A squad for the World Cup warm-up match, will now join the senior team’s camp in Vizag.
