The Young talent Yastika Bhatia has been ruled out of the upcoming ICC Women’s Cricket World Cup 2025 after sustaining an injury to her left knee during India’s preparatory camp.
“Yastika Bhatia sustained an injury to her left knee during India’s preparatory camp in Vizag,” BCCI said in a statement. “The BCCI Medical Team is monitoring Yastika Bhatia’s progress and the team wishes Yastika Bhatia a speedy recovery.”
