Royal Challengers Bangalore: England skipper Heather Knight has withdrawn from the 2024 season of the Women’s Premier League (WPL) due to her prioritising participating in the side’s white-ball tour of New Zealand.
Heather, who was retained by Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) is the second England player to pull out of WPL 2024 after fast-bowler Lauren Bell, representing the UP Warriorz, withdrew from the competition happening from February 23 to March 17 in Bengaluru and New Delhi.
