Shreyanka Patil ruled out of India A’s Tour of Australia After Initial Selection

Indian spinners Shreyanka Patil and Priya Mishra have been ruled out of India A's women's tour of Australia. Both were initially named in the squad with a disclaimer that their inclusion was subject to fitness clearance. However, their recovery has taken longer than expected, and both have now been ruled out.

Shreyanka Patil, Priya Mishra Continue Rehab at BCCI COE

Shreyanka Patil has been dealing with a long-term injury. Her return was initially planned for this series, ahead of the ICC Women’s World Cup 2025 in India. Since she hasn't recovered in time, she will continue her rehabilitation at the BCCI's Centre of Excellence (COE) in Bengaluru. Priya Mishra has also failed to recover and will miss the tour as well.

"Both players remain under the care of the BCCI Medical Team at the Centre of Excellence and are currently undergoing their Return-to-Play protocols," a BCCI spokesperson said.
