Summarised from 2 outlets · Updated 19 Oct, 06:31 · Archive
Australian pace bowler Darcie Brown has been ruled out of the upcoming WBBL season after being diagnosed with a disc injury.
Darcie Brown has been ruled out of the Adelaide Strikers' WBBL season after suffering a disc injury during an Australia A tour of India last month. Cricket Australia confirmed on Monday that the injury has not healed sufficiently to allow the 23-year-old to resume training, despite initial hopes that a period of de-loading would enable her recovery in time for the WBBL campaign running from 29 October to 5 December.
The injury is a significant blow to Brown's international prospects. She was dropped ahead of this year's T20 World Cup and was hoping to regain her place in the squad for the inaugural T20 Women's Champions Trophy in India from 14-28 February. The back injury also ruled her out of Australia's recent 3-0 ODI clean sweep of Bangladesh.
Brown has played six Tests, 30 ODIs and 41 T20s for Australia, and has recorded speeds of 127.2km/h. Adelaide Strikers coach Luke Williams said: 'Darcie is a quality player who will be missed on the field, but she remains a hugely important part of our squad. She brings outstanding experience, professionalism and leadership, and those qualities will continue to have a positive influence on our group throughout WBBL 12.'
