Jemimah Rodrigues ruled out of The Hundred with hamstring injury; Asia Cup participation in doubt

India batter Jemimah Rodrigues has been ruled out of the ongoing Hundred after suffering a hamstring injury while playing for Southern Brave, the club confirmed on Saturday, August 8, 2026. Southern Brave announced an injury replacement for the remainder of the tournament, raising doubts over Rodrigues's availability for the upcoming Women's T20 Asia Cup.

Southern Brave confirmed on Saturday (August 8, 2026) that Rodrigues would be replaced and issued a statement on X. "We can confirm that due to an injury suffered by Jemimah Rodrigues, we’ve signed Charli Knott as our injury replacement for the remainder of The Hundred. Wishing you a speedy recovery, Jemi," Southern Brave posted on X. The club's announcement named Australian all-rounder Charlie Knott as the replacement for Rodrigues for the rest of the competition.

The 25-year-old Rodrigues has scored 143 runs for Southern Brave this Hundred campaign, with a highest score of 42 not out across six innings. Her batting average in the tournament stands at 35.75. Her strike rate for the six innings is 131.19.

Southern Brave's sign‑on covers the remainder of The Hundred, with the club describing the move as an injury replacement. The quoted post on X used the spelling "Charli Knott" while the club's earlier line referred to Charlie Knott as the Australian all‑rounder taking Rodrigues's place. The replacement is explicitly for the remainder of The Hundred.

The Women's T20 Asia Cup is scheduled to begin on August 28. India are set to start their campaign against Thailand on August 30.

Rodrigues has just under three weeks to recover from the hamstring injury if she is to be available for the continental tournament; the Asia Cup begins on August 28 and India face Thailand on August 30.
