India batter Jemimah Rodrigues announced on Friday that she has successfully recovered from a severe hamstring injury sustained back in August, clearing her to return to competitive cricket. The right-handed batter picked up a high-grade tear on August 3 while turning out for the Southern Brave during the women’s Hundred competition hosted in Cardiff. Following medical evaluations and treatment overseen by the Board of Control for Cricket in India support staff, Rodrigues underwent an extensive three-month rehabilitation program to fix the damage.
Recovery Timeline and Missed Action
The timing of the injury proved particularly unfortunate for the middle-order batter, forcing her onto the sidelines during a packed international window. Because of the prolonged recovery period, Rodrigues was forced to miss the T20 Asia Cup held in the United Arab Emirates across August and September, along with the subsequent Asian Games in Japan. Furthermore, she sat out the recent home series against Zimbabwe, where India secured a comprehensive 3-0 victory across both One Day International and Twenty20 International formats. Announcing the positive medical update through social media, the player confirmed her rehabilitation is officially complete.
- Sustained a right hamstring tear on August 3 playing in the women’s Hundred.
- Missed major tournaments including the T20 Asia Cup and Asian Games.
- Completed three months of intensive medical rehabilitation under BCCI supervision.

Upcoming Fixtures and Return to Domestic Play
With her medical clearance now secured, Rodrigues is immediately eyeing a return to the field. She is expected to represent Mumbai in the ongoing Senior Women’s T20 Trophy to regain match fitness. Looking further ahead on the international calendar, India’s next major assignment arrives in December when the national team travels for a multi-format tour of South Africa. That upcoming series features a one-off Test match, three One Day Internationals, and three Twenty20 Internationals, providing an ideal platform for her long-awaited return to the international stage.
