The Australian team will be without Grace Harris for the upcoming Women’s ODI World Cup. Harris suffered an injury during the third ODI against India, preventing her from recovering in time for the tournament. Heather Graham has been named as Harris’s replacement. Graham has minimal ODI experience, having only played one match for Australia.
Grace Harris is an all-rounder who contributes both with the bat and ball. Her ODI statistics include 12 matches with 16 runs and 12 wickets. She participated in one match in the recent India series, securing one wicket. The injury she sustained during that match has ruled her out of the World Cup. Heather Graham, who will be taking her place, is also an all-rounder who debuted in ODIs for Australia in 2019. Her debut match was against Sri Lanka, in which she scored 4 runs and took 1 wicket.
The Women’s ODI World Cup starts on September 30th. The opening match will be between India and Sri Lanka. Australia’s first match is on October 1st against New Zealand. Australia recently won the 3-match ODI series against India, 2-1.
