Injury Background

Rodrigues sustained a high-grade right hamstring tear on August 3 while competing for the Southern Brave in The Hundred tournament in Cardiff. Following medical assessment by the BCCI staff, she was unable to participate in several major international competitions, including:

With her recovery confirmed, Rodrigues is now preparing for a return to competitive cricket. She is expected to be considered for India’s upcoming multi-format tour of South Africa, scheduled for December. The series is set to include:
