Sneh, who is a like-for-like replacement for Shreyanka in the RCB camp, has previously played and captained Gujarat Giants (GG) in the WPL. She now joins the Smriti Mandhana-led franchise for INR 30 lakh. Her presence will lend more experience to the RCB spin-bowling line-up, who have now lost their first-choice spin bowlers.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Shreyanka, who has played 15 matches for RCB and has scalped 19 wickets since 2023, is ruled out of the third edition of the WPL due to an injury. She was the leading wicket-taker in WPL 2024 with 13 scalps in eight matches, including taking 4-12 in the final against Delhi Capitals, to set up RCB\u2019s maiden title win at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in New Delhi.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Eyebrows were raised over Shreyanka\u2019s availability for RCB in WPL 2025 when she wasn\u2019t spotted with the team in the ongoing first leg of the tournament in Vadodara. Sources told IANS that Shreyanka, who has been out of action since last year\u2019s T20 World Cup, has been nursing a shin injury.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\u201cSneh has been with the team and was to be included in the main squad if Shreyanka wouldn\u2019t play at all. But on Saturday, when it was clear that Shreyanka won\u2019t be available for the remainder of WPL 2025, the decision was taken to have Sneh as her replacement,\u201d further said the sources.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Shreyanka\u2019s absence further increases RCB\u2019s troubles in the bowling department. Before starting their WPL 2025 campaign, they had lost the services of Asha Sobhana and Sophie Molineux, two of their vital figures in the WPL 2024 triumph, due to knee injuries.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
RCB were further depleted by the withdrawal of Sophie Devine (mental health break) and Kate Cross (back injury). Despite the absence of their five main players, RCB managed to chase down 202 against the Gujarat Giants to start their title defence in style.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
