New Delhi: India all-rounder Shreyanka Patil has been ruled out of the remainder of the 2026 ICC Women’s T20 World Cup after injuring her right ankle during the Group A match against the Netherlands at Headingley. The injury occurred on the first ball of the sixth over when Shreyanka twisted her ankle while chasing the ball towards mid-on. He immediately held his ankle in pain and was eventually carried off the field on a stretcher as teammates and medical staff ran to help.The setback has been particularly painful for Shreyanka, who had only recently returned to international cricket after spending a long time on the sidelines due to another injury. The off-spin bowling all-rounder expressed his disappointment on social media and thanked fans for their support.Shreyanka wrote on her social media account on Saturday, “Well, not every dream comes true. No injury is easy, but this is the hardest one. But in these last few days, I am overwhelmed with the love I have received. I have seen so many messages, so many edits and reels, and I really appreciate them all.”“I know many of you are wishing the same for me that I can get through this. Not every dream comes true, but I will never stop dreaming! And as I said last year, “Heartbroken, but I will fly again.”Shreyanka featured in India’s win over Pakistan early in the tournament and remained a key player due to her ability to bowl alongside left-handed batsmen and bowl effectively in the death overs. Her performances for Royal Challengers Bangalore in the Women’s Premier League also underlined her importance.India has included leg spin all-rounder Prema Rawat in his place in the team. However, the team management may also turn to left-arm spinner Radha Yadav or make changes to the pace attack ahead of the crucial Group A clash against South Africa at Old Trafford on Sunday.
