Indian wicketkeeper-batter Yastika Bhatia has been ruled out of the upcoming ODI series against Australia due to a wrist injury. Bhatia sustained the injury during the ongoing Women’s Big Bash League. Bhatia, a key player for India, will miss the series as she recovers from the injury.

The first ODI between India and Australia will be held on December 5.
