Puja Vastrakar who is ruled out because of upper respiratory tract infection.Originally posted by: BeingBlunt
There is news that Harman might not play. In that case we should just forfeit. There is absolutely no point in playing without her. No one wants to watch a one sided ragging on the India team by the mighty aussies. Aussies fear just one player and it harman. Without her Aussies will win even if they are playing with one hand tied behind the back .
Ahead of the much-awaited clash, India has been jolted by an injury blow. Star all-rounder Puja Vastrakar has been ruled out of the important semi-final clash against the Aussies. As per the latest reports, Vastrakar has been ruled out due to an upper respiratory tract infection. Before this Vastrakar featured in all of India's league-stage games. In the ongoing tournament, she has picked up two wickets at a bowling average of 44.5.
The problems for India just don't stop at Pooja Vastrakar's illness. Adding to India's woes, skipper Harmanpreet Kaur is also unlikely to feature in the important contest. It is being said that both Vastrakar and Kaur were admitted to a local hospital on the eve of the match and were later discharged. A final call on Kaur's fitness is yet to be taken. In Kaur's absence, the onus to lead the team will fall upon Smriti Mandhana. If Kaur misses out, Harleen Deol can be drafted in the side as she too can bat and will be a valuable addition to the team
