Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) all-rounder Shreyanka Patil and Gujarat Giants spinner Priya Mishra have been ruled out of India A women’s tour to Australia next month. Shreyanka was provisionally drafted into the squad, subject to fitness clearance from the National Cricket Academy (NCA). On Thursday, the board pushed her clearance. Priya, on the other hand, has been sidelined due to an unrevealed injury.

“Both players remain under the care of the BCCI Medical Team at the Centre of Excellence and are currently undergoing their Return-to-Play protocols,” stated a BCCI release.

Replacements Announced for Shreyanka Patil and Priya Mishra

Dhara Gujjar and Prema Rawat have been included in the India A squad as replacements for Shreyanka and Priya, respectively. While Dhara will be a part of the ODIs and multi-day format, Prema will feature only in T20 cricket. Notably, both had been named in the selective squads earlier, but will now be extending their stay.

Yastika Bhatia has been named as the late addition to the ODI squad. Yastika’s late addition meant that the team management kept a close eye on the southpaw batter due to the Women’s ODI World Cup 2025 within sight. Notably, the 24-year-old was also named in India’s three-match ODI series against England. While India sealed the series 2-1, Yastika didn’t feature in any match.

India A will square off against Australia in three T20s starting on August 7. All three games will be played in Mackay. The Radha Yadav-led side will also lock horns for three ODIs and a four-day match in Brisbane.
