The Young talent Yastika Bhatia has been ruled out of the upcoming ICC Women’s Cricket World Cup 2025 after sustaining an injury to her left knee during India’s preparatory camp.

“Yastika Bhatia sustained an injury to her left knee during India’s preparatory camp in Vizag,” BCCI said in a statement. “The BCCI Medical Team is monitoring Yastika Bhatia’s progress and the team wishes Yastika Bhatia a speedy recovery.”

Yastika Bhatia’s inclusion for the Women’s World Cup comes on the back of the 24-year old wk-batter notching up scores of 59, 66 and 42 in the India A game against three-match unofficial one-day series against Australia A.

The BCCI has named Uma Chetry as the replacement for Yastika Bhatia who has featured in seven T20Is.

“Uma Chetry, who is now a part of the India squad for the Australia series and the ICC Women’s Cricket World Cup 2025, will no longer be a part of the India A squad, which is scheduled to take part in a warm-up match in the World Cup,” said BCCI.

Ahead of the marquee event, India will host Australia in a three match ODI series beginning September 14 in Mullanpur.

India squad for Australia ODIs: HARMANPREET KAUR (C), Smriti Mandhana (VC), Pratika Rawal, Harleen Deol, Deepti Sharma, Jemimah Rodrigues, Renuka Singh Thakur, Arundhati Reddy, Richa Ghosh (WK), Kranti Gaud Satghare, Radha Yadav, Sree Charani, Sneh Rana, Uma Chetry (WK)
