Talya Vlaeminck out due to knee strain

A knee strain has ruled Tayla Vlaeminck out of the Women’s National Cricket League (WNCL) matches. This comes as a significant injury scare ahead of the T20 World Cup next year.

The Aussie speedster has a torrid history

of knee injury and suffered an ACL strain to her left knee while training

before Christmas. It is expected that she will be sidelined for two to three

weeks.

While Australia’s next assignment is the

T20I tri-series involving England and India late January, Victoria’s opening

WNCL games on January 7 and 9.

“Tayla sustained a mild ACL strain while

bowling at training prior to Christmas,” a CV spokesperson told cricket.com.au.

“Following advice from team medical staff, Tayla is expected to miss two to

three weeks and will be unavailable for the upcoming WNCL fixtures for

Victoria.”

Vlaeminck is one of the fastest bowlers in

the circuit. She has been a regular in the Australian team ever since she made

her debut in 2018. Given the X-factor her pace bowling brings, Australia would

surely be wanting her to be fit soon.
