Harmanpreet Kaur, the India allrounder, has been ruled out of the upcoming Women's Super League in England because of a shoulder injury. Harmanpreet, who was set to represent Surrey Stars, has been advised a month's rest followed by rehabilitation after an MRI soon upon return to India last week confirmed a tear in her left shoulder.
"I was in bad shape in the later stages of the World Cup but the physios got me going. It would have been great to be a part of Kia League," Harmanpreet was quoted as saying by Hindustan Times. "I had a successful stint with Sydney Thunder in Women's Big Bash League (WBBL) which lifted my game and confidence. I will convey my unavailability to the franchise." Harmapreet, India's second-highest run-getter at the World Cup, battled multiple injuries during the tournament. She hurt her little finger on the left hand during India's second game, against West Indies. Ahead of the final, she was seen icing her shoulder after picking up an injury at the nets and didn't train full tilt. "There were a couple of injuries before the final, but I was able to play thanks to our physio Tracy Fernandes," she said. "At one point, it looked like I might have to return from the World Cup. I would like to give full credit to her for playing the full tournament." Harmanpreet, who became the first India woman to sign a contract with an overseas T20 league, was the second-highest run-getter for Sydney Thunder in her maiden stint at the Women's Big Bash in December-January http://www.espncricinfo.com/story/_/id/20214823/harmanpreet-kaur-miss-women-super-league 08-05-2017, 01:42 PM
Yorkshire Diamonds are hoping that Sri Lanka batting star Chamari Atapattu has found the recipe for success ahead of this summer's Kia Super League.
Atapattu, the scorer of a sensational 178 not out in a recent World Cup clash with Australia, was a last-minute replacement for injured Beth Mooney, but she is settling into life in the White Rose county nicely. "The girls have been trying to teach her some Yorkshire sayings," admitted England fast bowler Jenny Gunn. "I think that's going pretty well. "It will be different for her coming from a different background. She was up at 5.30 the other morning having spicy noodles for breakfast, although she did assure me she has cereal, too. "You don't realise how different other players' lives are. It will be interesting to learn about her and get to know her. "She's a big hitting left-hander who had an amazing World Cup, is the first Sri Lankan to play in this competition, and I'm sure she will do really well for us." Atapattu is joined by overseas all-rounders Sune Luus and the more experienced Sophie Devine from South Africa and New Zealand respectively, all of whom played in the World Cup. "Sune's a 21-year-old leg-spinner," said Gunn. "It's quite a new experience for her, just coming over to play in another big tournament. But I'm sure she will prove a really exciting addition. "It's a fresh team with new faces, and it's nice to be part of it. We've bonded really well. "I've probably played against Sophie for 10 years, so it's nice I don't have to bowl at her. I can definitely learn things from her. "She's quite a quiet and calm person off the field, but when you play against her she's very energetic. She hits the ball as far as anyone. "There are loads of big hitters in the tournament, and that's what we want to see. But just not when I'm bowling. You'd rather be a batsman than a bowler in this format, that's for sure." http://www.skysports.com/cricket/news/31996/10974016/kia-super-league-yorkshire-bolstered-by-chamari-atapattu-sune-luus-sophie-devine 08-11-2017, 11:33 AM
