The BCCI issued a press release stating that Yastika Bhatia suffered a left knee injury during training. The BCCI medical team is monitoring the injury of Yastika Bhatia and the team is wishing Yastika Bhatia to get well soon. Let me tell you, this is a big opportunity for Uma Chhetri, because she has not played a single match for Team India yet. In such a situation, she would like to take full advantage of this opportunity. At the same time, Uma Chhetri is now a part of the Indian team, so she will not be able to play for the India -A team, which is to participate in the practice match in the World Cup.
