Uma Chetry
New Delhi, Nov 28: Uma Chetry on Wednesday replaced top-order batter Yastika Bhatia in India's squad for the three women's ODIs against Australia next month.
Bhatia injured her wrist in the ongoing Women's Big Bash League Down Under. “The All India Women's Selection Committee has named Uma Chetry as Bhatia's replacement in the squad," said the BCCI in a statement.
Chetry has played four T20s for India, while Bhatia is more experienced having featured in three Tests, 28 ODIS and 19 T20s.
India will play the first two ODIs at the Allan Border Field in Brisbane on December 5 and December 8.
The third and final ODI is at the WACA Ground in Perth on December 11.
The series is part of the ICC Women's Championship.
Uma Chetry is the first ever Assam player to be called for the senior national team. Uma, a wicket-keeper batter from Bokakhat, has travelled with Team India for several tournaments since July 2023. She was also part of the Indian women's team that won gold in the Asian Games.
