India Replaces Injured Yastika Bhatia with Uma Chetry for Australia ODIs, World Cup

India's women's cricket team has named Uma Chetry as the replacement for Yastika Bhatia, who sustained a left knee injury during the team's preparatory camp in Vizag. Chetry will join the squad for the upcoming three-match ODI series against Australia starting September 14 and the ICC Women’s Cricket World Cup 2025, which opens on September 30. Bhatia, a key wicketkeeper-batter, had been included in the World Cup squad following strong performances for India A against Australia A. The BCCI medical team is monitoring Bhatia's recovery, and the squad has wished her a speedy return. With Chetry's elevation to the senior team, she has been withdrawn from the India A side that was scheduled to play a World Cup warm-up match. India will begin their World Cup campaign against Sri Lanka and face Pakistan in a high-profile match during the tournament.
