New Delhi, 15/2: India’s star opening batter Smriti Mandhana has recovered from a finger injury and is set to return for their T20 World Cup match against the West Indies, the Indian coaching staff said on Tuesday.
The 26-year-old left-hander, who topped the bidding in the WPL auction on Monday when Royal Chargers Bangalore signed her for Rs 340 lakh ($415,000), missed India’s opening group match win over Pakistan because of the injured finger.
India’s bowling coach Troy Cooley, however, said she had come through Tuesday’s training session unscathed and would likely be taking her place in the team at Newlands.
“She has been working very hard and she will be assessed after training,” said Cooley.
