The injury has come as a huge disappointment for Shreyanka but turned out to be a special moment for another young leg-spinner, Prema Rawat, who is already in England. Amid the setback, Smriti Mandhana achieved new milestone in Women's T20 World Cup.
Shreyanka had just started bowling when she ran towards a ball hit to the mid-on area. While trying to stop it, she twisted her ankle badly and immediately fell to the ground. She was in a lot of pain and could not stand properly.
Shreyanka Patil's injury curse continues
It is another unlucky moment for Shreyanka in her career that has already seen several injury problems. A finger injury had already forced her to miss the ICC Women's T20 World Cup in 2024, and then she suffered shin injuries in both legs.
Earlier this year, Shreyanka was also part of Royal Challengers Bengaluru's (RCB) successful WPL campaign, but now she has suffered another setback, and that too in the World Cup.
Rawat was one of the standout performers in the Women's Asia Cup Rising Stars, where she picked up eight wickets and helped India A win the tournament. With seven wickets, she was also the joint-leading wicket-taker on India A's tour of Australia last year, claiming seven wickets in three matches.
The BCCI Announcement
The BCCI said in an official media release, "Shreyanka Patil sustained an ankle injury while fielding during India's ICC Women's T20 World Cup match against the Netherlands on June 17, 2026, and has been ruled out of the tournament. The Event Technical Committee of the ICC Women's T20 World Cup has approved her replacement. Accordingly, the Women's Selection Committee has named leg spinner Prema Rawat in India's squad for the remainder of the World Cup.”
