The upcoming version of the Women’s Premier League (WPL) starts on 14 February, where the first match will be played between Gujarat giants and Royal Challars Bangalore at Kotambi Stadium, Vadodara. Earlier, Mumbai Indians and RCB have announced the replacement of their injured players.

Mumbai Indians have included Under -19 World Cup winner Parunika Sisodia as a replacement of experienced Pooja Vastrakar for the upcoming version of the Women’s Premier League starting on 14 February. Let us know that Indian fast bowler Pooja Vastrakar recently got out of knee injury.

Parunika Sisodia was part of the team winning the India Women’s Under -19 title and she took 10 wickets in six matches. He was signed by Gujarat giants at the beginning of the league. She has now joined Mumbai Indians for Rs 10 lakh.

Nuzhat Parveen replaced Asha Shobhana

Apart from this, defending champions Royal Challengers Bangalore have included the team as a replacement as a replacement of wicketkeeper-batsman Nuzhat Parveen, born in Madhya Pradesh in place of injured Asha Shobhana. Parveen, who represents the railway, has represented the Indian women’s team in five T20 matches. She will join RCB for her base price of Rs 30 lakh.

Shobhana was last seen playing in the Women’s T20 World Cup in October 2024 and has been recovering from her injury since then. All -rounder played an important role for the franchise in the previous edition. He took 12 wickets and emerged as the second highest wicket -taking bowler.

At the same time, Shreyanka Patil also looks doubtful, as she is going through a long rehabilitation process after injury. Both these players did not participate in India’s domestic season as well as the three-match ODI series.
