Indian batter Jemimah Rodrigues retired hurt during a Women's Big Bash League match on Friday. She appeared to injure her left wrist while playing for Brisbane Heat against Sydney Thunder. This injury raises concerns about her participation in the upcoming ODI series against Australia.
The three-match series is scheduled to begin on December 5.
Brisbane Heat secured a dominant nine-wicket victory over Sydney Thunder at the Allan Border Field. This win propelled them to the final against Melbourne Renegades. The final will be held on Sunday at the MCG.
Rodrigues contributed 43 runs off 30 balls before retiring hurt in the 10th over of the Heat's chase. Sydney Thunder fielders dropped her three times during her innings.
The injury seemingly occurred earlier in the match when Rodrigues attempted to save a boundary during the Thunder's innings. She landed awkwardly on her left wrist while diving in the field.
Rodrigues continued batting with strapping on her wrist during the Heat's innings. However, her discomfort became increasingly apparent, leading her to leave the field during the drinks break.
Georgia Redmayne then steered the Heat to victory with an unbeaten 51. The Heat reached their target of 134 with 28 balls remaining.
