  "summary": "Jemimah Rodrigues has been ruled out of both the Women’s Asia Cup and the Asian Games due to a high-grade right hamstring tear sustained while playing for Southern Brave in The Hundred in England on August 3. The BCCI Medical Team confirmed the severity of the injury during a clinical assessment in Bengaluru. Pratika Rawal has been named as Rodrigues' replacement in the Asia Cup squad, providing India with an additional top-order batting option. Rodrigues, who scored 143 runs in six innings for Southern Brave in The Hundred, was expected to play a significant role in India's preparations for the Asia Cup and Asian Games. The Asia Cup begins on August 28, with India's first match against Thailand on August 30.",
