Pooja Vastrakar, Asha Sobhana governed out of WPL 2025 with injuries

Mumbai Indians (MI) crease bowling allrounder Pooja Vastrakar and Illustrious Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) legspinner Asha Sobhana have been sidelined from the whole WPL 2025 with wounds. Parunika Sisodia, new off winning the Under-19 World Cup in Malaysia, and Railroads wicketkeeper-player Nuzhat Parween, will supplant them at MI and RCB separately. Vastrakar has been a "major player" for MI, as their lead trainer Charlotte Edwards insinuated during the pre-season public interview, so making up for the shortfall made by her nonattendance could be a test. Sisodia, the left-arm fingerspinner is certainly not a like-for-like swap for Vastrakar, however her new structure is empowering for MI: she took five wickets across the semi-last and the last of the Under-19 World Cup, assisting India with becoming consecutive bosses. Akshita Maheshwari, the Rajasthan crease bowling allrounder, is even more a like-for-like substitution for Vastrakar. In the Under-23 Ladies' One Day Prize last season, Maheshwari had wrapped up with 23 wickets, the second-most in the opposition, and got two full go-arounds: against Mizoram and Odisha. Asha's inaccessibility, in the mean time, intensifies RCB's inconveniences. They are additionally perspiring on the wellness of Shreyanka Patil and Ellyse Perry. Asha's 12 wickets in 10 games at an economy pace of 7.11 were fundamental to RCB coming out on top for their lady WPL championship last season. Parween, who has played five T20Is for India, will be a back-up wicketkeeper to Richa Ghosh. She had scored 134 runs at a strike pace of 101.51 for Rail lines in the Senior Ladies' T20 Prize recently. WPL 2025 will start off on February 14, with reigning champs RCB taking on Gujarat Goliaths in Vadodara.
