The incident happened in the last over of the powerplay, when Patil twisted his ankle while trying to stop the ball.

After this, the Women’s Selection Committee has included leg spinner Prema Rawat in the Indian team for the remaining matches of the World Cup.

She was also the joint-top wicket-taker on the India A tour of Australia last year, taking seven wickets in three T20 matches.
