Pratika Rawal Replaces Injured Jemimah Rodrigues in India’s 2026 Asian Games Squad
Pratika Rawal has been named as Jemimah Rodrigues' replacement in India's women's cricket squad for the 2026 Asian Games in Japan after Jemimah suffered a hamstring injury during The Hundred tournament. Pratika, a right-handed batter from Delhi, made her T20I debut in the 2026 Women's Asia Cup and has played three matches, scoring 36 runs. The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) confirmed her inclusion in the 15-member Asian Games squad. Jemimah's injury also ruled her out of the Women's Asia Cup earlier this year.
