Harmanpreet Kaur to miss Women's Super League due to shoulder injury

Harmanpreet Kaur to miss Women's Super League due to shoulder injury

New Delhi, Aug 1 (IBNS) : Harmanpreet Kaur is set to miss her debut in the Kia Super League T20, England’s domestic Twenty20 tournament, due to the shoulder injury she sustained during the World Cup last month, according to a report in the Hindustan Times.

The 28-year-old  swashbuckling batter was signed up by Surrey Stars in May this year, making her the first Indian player in the league.

Harmanpreet, who slammed an unbeaten 171 in the semifinal against Australia in  the women's world cup, was suffering from shoulder and finger injuries, though she carried herself  till the final.

She was visibly troubled while batting and didn’t take the field after her mammoth knock, before scoring 51 in the final.

According to the reports,  recent MRI scans have confirmed a tear on her shoulder, ruling her out of the tournament starting August. She has been advised one month’s rest which will be followed by rehab, the report continues.

“I was in bad shape in the later stages of the World Cup but the physios got me going. It would have been great to be a part of Kia League. I had a successful stint with Sydney Thunder in Women’s Big Bash League which lifted my game and confidence. I will convey my unavailability to the franchise,” Harmanpreet was quoted as saying by Hindustan Times.
