Georgia Plimmer Ruled Out for Remainder of 2023

New Zealand women's cricket opener Georgia Plimmer has been ruled out for the remainder of 2024 due to a bone stress reaction in her groin, as confirmed by New Zealand Cricket. Plimmer, who was a key player in New Zealand's recent T20 World Cup victory, experienced pain in her left hip during the ODI series in India, prompting further medical evaluation. She will miss crucial upcoming matches, including the home ODI series against Australia and domestic competitions such as the Hallyburton Johnstone Shield and Super Smash. Coach Ben Sawyer expressed disappointment over her absence, emphasizing her importance to the team at this critical time. Plimmer is expected to require six weeks of rehabilitation before resuming high-speed running in January. Her recent performances included 150 runs in six innings at the T20 World Cup and 105 runs in three ODIs against India.
