LONDON: India batter Jemimah Rodrigues will be returning to Northern Superchargers for a third successive season at The Hundred after she was signed as late replacement for injured Australian allrounder Heather Graham on Friday. Jemimah was Superchargers’ leading run-getter in the inaugural season, in 2021, aggregating 249 runs in seven innings. However, she missed the majority of last year’s competition for the franchise with a wrist injury.
Superchargers opted not to retain the 22-year old Indian ahead of March’s draft but have now brought her back as a replacement.
“I’m so excited to be back in The Hundred,” Rodrigues was quoted as saying in the franchise’s media release.
“It’s a world-class competition and I’ve had so much taking part in it previously. I was very disappointed to have to withdraw last year through injury so it’s great to be back. Headingley is a brilliant ground to play at, with great fans, and I can’t wait to be back out there,” she added. IANS
