Healy and Perry out of the Hundred; Rodrigues joins Superchargers
Healy has been conserving wicket all through the excursions to England and Ireland regardless of a number of accidents, however suffered a brand new fracture to her left index finger on Tuesday. Perry, in the meantime, has a left-knee harm which stored her off the sector within the second innings on Tuesday and, in response to a CA launch, would require as much as six weeks of relaxation.
They have been on account of play for Northern Superchargers and Birmingham Phoenix respectively and have been among the many highest-profile abroad gamers on account of play within the Hundred this yr. As a consequence, their withdrawals are an apparent blow to the competitors.
Rodrigues, 22, was the second-highest run-scorer within the first season of the Hundred however missed nearly all of final yr’s competitors with a wrist harm. Superchargers opted to not retain her forward of March’s draft however have now introduced her again as a alternative.
“I’m so excited to be back in The Hundred,” Rodrigues mentioned in a press launch. “It’s a world class competition and I’ve had so much taking part in it previously.
“I used to be very upset to should withdraw final yr by means of harm so it is nice to be again. Headingley is an excellent floor to play at, with nice followers, and I am unable to wait to be again on the market.”
Perry’s replacement is yet to be confirmed. Elsewhere in the women’s competition, Hannah Rainey has signed for Oval Invincibles as a replacement for Beth Langston, while Chloe Skelton will replace Georgia Davis.
Ollie Pope (Welsh Fire), Olly Stone (London Spirit) and Fred Klaassen (Manchester Originals) have all pulled out of the tournament through injury, and are replaced by Somerset allrounder Ben Green, Surrey seamer Dan Worrall and Durham allrounder Ben Raine respectively.
