With Women’s ODI World Cup Looming, India Grapples With Fast-bowling Injury Crisis
With Renuka Singh Thakur: As India builds toward a critical Women’s ODI World Cup campaign on home soil, a troubling pattern has caught everyone’s attention: the conspicuous absence of its frontline fast bowlers from recent assignments in Sri Lanka and England.
With Renuka Singh Thakur, Pooja Vastrakar, and Titas Sadhu sidelined after injuries post the 2025 Women’s Premier League (WPL), India fielded an inexperienced pace attack that raised eyebrows. Though India won the ODI tri-series in Sri Lanka and secured ODI and T20I series wins in England, the absence of frontline pacers in run-up to the ODI World Cup in concerning – though Kranti Goud, Amanjot Kaur and Arundhati Reddy managed things admirably.
While Titas has been named in India 'A' squad for the upcoming Australia tour in August, uncertainty looms over Renuka and Pooja, with the latter undergoing shoulder surgery three months ago. These recurring breakdowns prompt deeper inquiry: is there a systemic issue in how India manages its women fast bowlers? The injuries may differ in nature, but the pattern reflects broader concerns around the spike in match volumes post Covid-19.
