Emirates cricket board tournament

Emirates Cricket Board Tournament Director: Pace bowling all-rounder Heather Graham has been named in Australia's squad for the remainder of the 2024 Women’s T20 World Cup as a replacement for injured fast-bowler Tayla Vlaeminck, said the International Cricket Council (ICC).

Heather, who has played one ODI and five T20Is, was named in Australia’s squad after Tayla, who was playing in a T20 World Cup for the first time after 2018 due to a wretched run with injuries, suffered a dislocation of her right shoulder while fielding during the side’s nine-wicket win over its Group A opponents Pakistan at the Dubai International Stadium on Friday.

Heather replacing Tayla in Australia’s squad has been approved by the Event Technical Committee of the 2024 Women’s T20 World Cup, comprising of Wasim Khan (ICC General Manager – Cricket, Chair), Snehal Pradhan (ICC Manager – Women’s Cricket), Salman Hanif (Emirates Cricket Board Tournament Director) and Katey Martin (Independent Representative).
