Jemimah Rodrigues ruled out of Asia Cup and Asian Games
Jemimah Rodrigues is a cricketer who plays for India's women's team.
She got hurt while playing cricket in England.
She tore a muscle in the back of her leg, called a hamstring.
The tear was very bad, so doctors said she needs to rest.
Doctors from the BCCI checked her leg at a special centre in Bengaluru.
Because of the injury, she cannot play in two big tournaments.
The first is the Women's Asia Cup in Dubai.
The second is the Asian Games in Japan.
Another player named Pratika Rawal will take her place in the Asia Cup.
Everyone is sad for Jemimah, but she needs time to heal before playing again.
BCCI ruled Jemimah Rodrigues out of the Women's Asia Cup and the Asian Games due to a hamstring injury.
She suffered a high-grade right hamstring tear on August 3 while playing for Southern Brave in The Hundred in England.
The BCCI Medical Team confirmed the injury after a clinical assessment at the Centre of Excellence in Bengaluru.
The Women's Selection Committee named Pratika Rawal as Rodrigues' replacement for the Asia Cup.
The Women's Asia Cup runs August 28-September 13 in Dubai, UAE, and the Asian Games September 19-October 4 in Aichi-Nagoya, Japan.
