Kranti Goud added to Indian team for women’s ODI tri-series as replacement for injured Kashvee Gautam

New Delhi: Seam-bowling all-rounder Kranti Goud has been added to the Indian team playing in the ongoing women’s ODI tri-series in Colombo as a replacement for injured fellow all-rounder Kashvee Gautam. Kashvee, who made her ODI debut in the opening match of the tri-series, walked off the field after bowling just five overs in India’s three-wicket defeat to South Africa in Sunday’s clash at the R Premadasa International Cricket Stadium. In her first three games for India, Kashvee didn’t pick a single wicket.

“Yes, Kranti has been called up as a replacement for Kashvee, who is suspected to have either suffered a calf, hamstring or leg injury. Kranti was to leave for Colombo on Tuesday morning and must have joined the Indian team by now. The exact nature of Kashvee’s injury will be determined once she’s back in India from Colombo, and based on initial signals, she could be a doubtful starter for the tour of England.”

“Kranti was given the green signal for joining the Indian team on Monday evening by the medical team at the BCCI Centre of Excellence (CoE) in Bengaluru, as she had chicken pox last month while playing in the Senior Women’s Multi-Day Challenger Trophy in Dehradun,” said sources aware of development to IANS on Tuesday.

Kranti impressed in the recent Women’s Premier League (WPL), playing for UP Warriorz. She picked up six wickets in eight matches, including a four-wicket haul against Delhi Capitals (DC). Apart from her WPL performance, Kranti has been consistent in domestic cricket. In the Senior Women’s One Day Trophy, playing for Madhya Pradesh, she took 15 wickets in nine innings. (IANS)
