Cape Town: India fast bowler Pooja Vastrakar has been ruled out of the ICC Women’s T20 World Cup 2023 semifinal clash against Australia.
The player has been ruled out due to an upper respiratory tract infection ahead of the crucial contest. Vastrakar featured in all of India’s group stage games. The medium-pacer has picked up two wickets at a bowling average of 44.5 at the tournament so far.
The ICC Event Technical Committee has approved a replacement player request from the BCCI.
Off-spin bowling all-rounder Sneh Rana, who has featured in 47 internationals including 24 T20Is, will replace Vastrakar and could come into consideration for the cut-throat semifinal on Thursday.
The Event Technical Committee of the ICC Women’s T20 World Cup consists of Chris Tetley (Chair, ICC Head of Events), Russell Adams (Tournament Director), Snehal Pradhan (ICC Women’s Cricket Manager), Mike Gajjar (Cricket South Africa representative), Ian Bishop and Lisa Sthalekar (both independent).
