Kashvee Gautam Replaces Renuka Thakur as India Women Take on Australia in only Test

Renuka Singh Thakur will miss the pink-ball Test against Australia for workload management; Kashvee Gautam, with six ODIs experience, replaces her for the match starting Friday.

  • On Tuesday, BCCI secretary Devajit Saikia said Kashvee Gautam will replace Renuka Singh Thakur for the one‑off Test at the WACA Ground in Perth, as the Women’s Selection Committee selected her.
  • To protect her workload, Renuka Singh Thakur was ruled out of the one-off Test due to workload management and remains unavailable for selection while the BCCI Medical Team monitors her.
  • Kashvee brings limited international experience, having played six ODIs with three wickets and 19 wickets in 18 Women’s Premier League matches, already in the ODI squad.
  • With the Test starting on Friday, India must finalise pace options quickly as Kashvee Gautam’s limited international wickets alter the pace attack for the one‑off Test, due to Renuka Singh Thakur's workload management.
  • On Tuesday, the BCCI Medical Team will monitor Renuka Singh Thakur’s recovery, with her availability for the Friday Test depending on medical assessment during the Australia tour.
