Deepti Sharma withdraws from The Hundred due to workload issues

London, Jul 8 (PTI) India and London Spirit's all-rounder Deepti Sharma on Tuesday pulled out of The Hundred competition to manage her workload.

Deepti had famously sealed her team's title win with a six last year but the Indian all-rounder, who is currently in England with the national side, will not be participating in the competition owing to a busy season ahead, ESPNCricinfo reported.

Australia all-rounder Charli Knott has been named as a replacement. Deepti's withdrawal also ends Indian presence in the competition.

Deepti's contract is worth 36,000 pounds.

India women are currently playing a five-match T20I series against England, which will be followed by three ODIs later this month.

With the ODI World Cup slated later this year, the Indian team will also play a three-match ODI series against Australia at home. PTI DDV AM DDV AM AM
