Australian women’s cricket team: The Australian women’s team is going to play a three-match ODI series with New Zealand, but before that, there is bad news from the Australian team. Star player Sophie Molino missed the entire ODI series against New Zealand due to injury. Cricket Australia also announced his successor.
Sophie Molino has knee problem
Sophie Molino has withdrawn from the series against New Zealand due to knee pain, Cricket Australia said in a statement. Heather Graham will replace her and join the Australian team in New Zealand. She is currently playing in the National Women’s Cricket League. She has been in excellent form for some time now, taking 13 wickets and scoring 104 runs in 11 games in the WBBL-10 season.
Played two games in the series against India
26-year-old Sophie Molineau failed to participate in many WBBL games on behalf of the Melbourne Renegades due to a knee injury. He played in both matches of the ODI series against India. But he ran into trouble in his last game. She bowled only 5 overs, conceding 5.60 runs per over and not even taking a wicket.
Alyssa Healy is also injured
Sophie Molino’s injury adds to Australia’s worries. Because captain and wicketkeeper-batsman Alisha Healy is also injured and she is working hard to recover. Healy suffered a knee injury while playing for the Sydney Sixers and has since been ruled out of the three-match ODI series against India.
Australia vs New Zealand line-up:
Alyssa Healy (captain), Talia McGrath (vice-captain), Darcy Brown, Ashley Gardner, Kim Garth, Alana King, Phoebe Leach Field, Heather Gramm, Beth Mooney, Ellis Perry, Megan Shute, Annabelle Sutherland, Georgia Wareham.
Schedule of both teams for the ODI series:
First ODI: December 19: Wellington Basin Reserve
2nd ODI: December 21: Wellington Basin Reserve
3rd ODI: December 23: Wellington Basin Reserve
