Pratika Rawal Ruled Out Of Historic Lord's Test; Priya Punia Named Replacement, Says Muzumdar
T20 World Cup: India opener Pratika Rawal has been ruled out of the historic one-off Test match against England after sustaining a knee injury while fielding during India A’s second 50-over fixture against England A in Taunton, head coach Amol Muzumdar announced on Wednesday.
Right-handed batter Priya Punia has been drafted into the squad as her replacement for the marquee clash, which marks the first-ever women's Test match to be played at the iconic Lord's Cricket Ground starting on Friday. Priya, who has played 12 ODIs and three T20Is for India, stayed back from the A team as a cover and batted in India’s practice session on Wednesday.
"I would like to say that Pratika Rawal has been ruled out of the Test match due to her injury in the India A match. She has got a cut on her knee which required some stitches. So I guess she is out for the Test match and Priya Punia has been added into the squad," Muzumdar said during the pre-match press conference.
