Australia Women Suffer Major Injury Concerns Ahead Of Women's T20 World Cup 2024

Women's T20 World Cup 2024: Australia Women are currently suffering two major injury concerns ahead of their title defence in the Women's T20 World Cup 2024. Here are the details.

Women's T20 World Cup 2024: Australia Women have suffered a setback in their preparations for the upcoming Women's T20 World Cup 2024, as star players Grace Harris and Sophie Molineux have suffered major injuries. The reigning Women's T20 World Cup champions have been on a stunning run in 2024, as they have won 13 matches and lost only 3 matches out of 16 white-ball matches played, and are coming off a demolition of Bangladesh Women away.

As reported by ICC, Sophie Molineux is suffering an acute rib-fracture as the batter suffered the injury while practising in the nets last week. The duration of her being sidelined is approximately eight weeks and it does sound alarming, as Australia will be playing their first match of the Women's T20 World Cup 2024 against Sri Lanka on October 4.

Grace Harris is amongst the most destructive all-rounders in modern cricket and her ability to bat or bowl in any situation makes her a handy commodity. However, the right-arm batsman suffered a calf injury and the injury has forced her withdrawal from the upcoming tournament 'The Hundred'.

It will be interesting to see whether Grace Harris makes her return in the upcoming home T20I series against New Zealand Women, as both the sides will be in for a preparation before the mega event.

Harris suffered an aggravation of a calf injury sustained in her preparation for The Hundred and the upcoming season. She is now working through a graduated rehabilitation and return to play program."
