MUMBAI: India women's team batter Jemimah Rodrigues has recovered from a hamstring injury that had kept her out of action for three months and has joined the Mumbai team in Pune for the ongoing Senior Women's T20 Elite domestic tournament.
She will now turn out for Mumbai in their remaining matches in the tournament.
The development means that Rodrigues is set to return to action for the Indian women's team during their multi-format tour of South Africa in December.
“Life Update: HAMSTRING HAS BEEN DECLARED FIT!!!!!!!! After 3 months of rehab. Now I can’t wait to get going,” Jemimah wrote on her Instagram account on Friday.
The 26-year-old tore her right hamstring while playing for Southern Brave against Welsh Fire in The Hundred in England earlier this year. Scans at the BCCI Centre of Excellence later confirmed a high-grade tear, which meant that Jemimah was ruled out of the Women's T20 Asia Cup in the UAE, the Asian Games in Japan and India's recently concluded white-ball series against Zimbabwe at home.
Ironically, Jemimah's return to fitness comes on the first anniversary of her scoring an unbeaten 127 against Australia in the ODI World Cup semifinal at the DY Patil Stadium in Navi Mumbai. Riding on that innings, India went on to win the trophy.
The Indian women's team's tour of South Africa will include a one-off Test, three ODIs and three T20Is.
