Australia bring in replacement player ahead of final group clash with India

Australia bring in replacement player ahead of final group clash with India

Sharjah, Oct 13 (UNI) Tayla Vlaeminck will miss the remainder of the ICC Women's T20 World Cup due to a dislocated shoulder.
The Event Technical Committee of the ICC Women’s T20 World Cup 2024 approved fast-bowling all-rounder Heather Graham as a replacement for Vlaeminck in the Australia squad.
Graham, who has five T20Is to her name, will be available for selection of their final group game against India and the knockout stage should Australia qualify.
Vlaeminck, who has had a history of unfortunate setbacks throughout her career, was featuring in
just her second T20 World Cup game since making her debut in 2018.
Vlaeminck went down while attempting to prevent a boundary just four balls into her return for Australia against Pakistan in their group-stage meeting, an ICC report said.
Australia meanwhile are also sweating on the fitness of Alyssa Healy, who pulled up while batting in the same match, retiring hurt in her team's successful chase.
Hitting a quickfire 37 off 23 balls, Healy was forced to go off the field after injuring her right foot while running a single.
Australia take on India in their final Group A match on Sunday evening.
Australia squad: Alyssa Healy (c), Darcie Brown, Ash Gardner, Kim Garth, Heather Graham, Grace Harris, Alana King, Phoebe Litchfield, Tahlia McGrath (vc), Sophie Molineux, Beth Mooney, Ellyse Perry, Megan Schutt, Annabel Sutherland, Georgia Wareham.
