After suffering a fractured rib, Australia’s Sophie Molineux is in doubt for the New Zealand series
The all-rounder of team Australia, Sophie Molineux, could be in a race against time to get fit in time for the New Zealand series before the Women’s T20 World Cup after she suffered a fractured rib.
In an official statement to confirm the 26-year-old’s injury, Cricket Australia wrote, “Molineux suffered an acute rib fracture after being struck by a ball in the chest while batting last week.”
Molineux has been ruled out of The Hundred as a result, where she was due to join the Manchester Originals.
Another star of Team Australia to miss the tournament is Grace Harris. Grace has suffered a calf strain, which will restrict her from linking up with the London Spirit.
Cricket Australia added, “Harris suffered an aggravation of a calf injury sustained in her preparation for The Hundred and the upcoming season. She is now working through a graduated rehabilitation and [a] return-to-play program.”
