WPL 2026: Mumbai Indians' G Kamalini ruled out of season; Vaishnavi Sharma named replacement
The defending champions picked up the Indian left-arm spinner Vaishnavi Sharma as her replacement.
Mumbai Indians' (MI) wicketkeeper-batter G Kamalini has ruled out for the remainder of the 2026 women's Premier League season due to an injury.
The reigning champions have picked up Indian left-arm spinner Vaishnavi Sharma as a replacement for Kamalini for the remainder of the tournament.
Vaishnavi, a member of India’s triumphant ICC U19 Women’s T20 World Cup squad of 2025, has played 5 T20Is for India, scalping 5 wickets. She will join MI for INR 30 Lakh.
Kamalini has played all the matches for MI this season, scoring 75 runs from the 5 games, including a steady inning of 32 runs in the opening match against RCB.
In her absence, the Mumbai Indians will most likely include the uncapped Indian wicket-keeper Rahila Firdous in the starting line-up, marking her first WPL appearance.
MI have had a mixed outing this season so far, losing 3 matches and winning the other two. However, they are still in second position on the points table with 4 points.
Their next match will be against the bottom-placed Delhi Capitals on Tuesday, which they would hope to win to solidify their position in the top-3.
