Jemimah Rodrigues has recovered from a three-month hamstring injury. The Indian batter is now targeting a return to international action during the upcoming tour of South Africa in December after being sidelined since August.
Jemimah Rodrigues Cleared for International Return
India batter Jemimah Rodrigues has announced that she has recovered from the hamstring injury that had kept her sidelined since August. Rodrigues sustained a right hamstring injury on August 3 while representing Southern Brave in The Hundred in Cardiff. Subsequent assessments by the BCCI medical team revealed a high-grade tear, ruling her out of the Women’s T20 Asia Cup in the UAE and the Asian Games in Japan, both of which India went on to win. The 25-year-old also missed India’s recently concluded home series against Zimbabwe, where the hosts registered comprehensive 3-0 clean sweeps in both the ODI and T20I formats.
Recovery Progress and Future Plans
Taking to Instagram on Friday, Rodrigues shared an encouraging update on her recovery, revealing that her hamstring had been given the all-clear following three months of rehabilitation. “Hamstring has been declared fit. After 3 months of rehab. Now I can’t wait to get going,” her caption said. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Jemimah Jessica Rodrigues (@jemimahrodrigues)
Career Contributions and Upcoming Series
Rodrigues is India’s fourth-highest run-scorer in women’s T20Is, having amassed 2,824 runs at a strike rate of 119. A key member of the Indian middle order, she has been an important contributor across formats. Her last international appearance came during India’s defeat to Australia at the ICC Women’s T20 World Cup in England last June. The right-handed batter will now be eyeing a return to international action during India’s upcoming multi-format tour of South Africa in December. The tour will comprise a one-off Test, three ODIs and three T20Is.
