Mumbai: The All India Women’s Selection Committee has named Uma Chetry as Yastika Bhatia’s replacement for the upcoming three ODI series Down Under.

Chetry, the 22-year-old keeper-batter who made her India debut back in July and has four T20I appearances to her name so far, has received a maiden ODI call-up for the tour of Australia.

She will replace Yastika Bhatia, who will miss the upcoming three-match ODI series against Australia due to a wrist injury.

A statement from the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) added that Bhatia’s recovery process is being closely monitored after the BCCI Medical Team ruled her out for the upcoming series.

India’s most recent assignment in the ODIs came up against the White Ferns, against whom they came out on top by a 2-1 margin at home.

The last time India and Australia Women squared off in an ODI series was last year, when Australia toured India and clean sweeped the three-match series.

Updated India Women’s ODI Squad:

Harmanpreet Kaur (C), Smriti Mandhana, Priya Punia, Jemimah Rodrigues, Harleen Deol, Richa Ghosh (WK), Tejal Hasabnis, Deepti Sharma, Minnu Mani, Priya Mishra, Radha Yadav, Titas Sadhu, Arundhati Reddy, Renuka Singh Thakur, Saima Thakor, Uma Chetry (WK).

Fixtures:

1st ODI – Thursday, 5 Dec, Brisbane

2nd ODI – Sunday, 8 Dec, Brisbane

3rd ODI – Wednesday, 11 Dec, Perth.
