Warwickshire have signed India top-order batter Pratika Rawal for the rest of the 2026 season.<\/p>\n

The 25-year-old averages more than 47 in One-Day internationals with two hundreds and eight half-centuries from 26 innings.<\/p>\n

She was part of the India squad that won the World Cup in 2025 but missed the final win over South Africa because of injury.<\/p>\n

Rawal made her Test debut in March against Australia in Perth, scoring 63 in India’s second innings.<\/p>\n

She was ruled out of India’s recent win in the historic Lord’s Test against England<\/a> also through injury, sustained playing for India A in their second one-day game against England A in Taunton at the start of the month.<\/p>\n

Rawal is set to make her first appearance for Warwickshire when the One-Day Cup resumes on 19 August. <\/p>\n

The Bears have won five and lost five, with one no result, from their 11 group games so far.<\/p>\n

Head coach, Ali Maiden, said Rawal’s signing was “fantastic”, external<\/a> and would “only strengthen our line-up as we look to finish the season on a positive note”.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Warwickshire have signed India top-order batter Pratika Rawal for the rest of the 2026 season.
