Grace Harris Ruled Out; Heather Graham Called Up

Australia all-rounder Grace Harris has been ruled out of the ICC Women’s ODI World Cup 2025 after suffering a calf strain in the third ODI against India, ruling her out of the tournament that begins on September 30 in India and Sri Lanka. Heather Graham has been called up as Harris’s replacement and will join the squad in India after Western Australia’s early WNCL matches. Harris, a powerful lower-order hitter who forced her way back into ODI contention with prolific form for Surrey and London Spirit and who was in Australia’s 2022 World Cup squad without playing, will return home to recover ahead of the WBBL. The loss is a blow to the defending champions, though Australia still retains significant spin and pace depth across the squad. Australia will open their title defence against New Zealand on October 1.
