PERTH.Perth: The Indian women’s team, which is touring Australia, suffered a blow on Tuesday when veteran pacer Renuka Singh Thakur was ruled out of the one-off Test against the home side due to workload management. BCCI Secretary Devjit Saikia said in a statement that Kashvi Gautam has been selected in place of Renuka. “Team India’s pacer Renuka Thakur has been ruled out of the one-off Test at the WACA Ground in Perth, which is part of the ongoing multi-format series against the Australia women’s team,” Saikia said in a statement. “To better manage her workload, Renuka has been advised rest and will not be available for selection for the pink-ball Test. The BCCI medical team will closely monitor Renuka’s fitness progress. The women’s selection committee has selected Kashvi Gautam as her replacement.
