India, Jan. 21 -- India spinner Vaishnavi Sharma on Tuesday replaced an injured wicketkeeper-batter G Kamalini in the Mumbai Indians' squad for the remainder of the Women's Premier League. The 17-year-old Kamalini opened for MI in four out of the five matches she played in this edition of the WPL, managing a mere 75 runs at a strike rate of 97.40. "Vaishnavi Sharma will join MI for Rs 30 Lakh," the WPL said in a release. Vaishnavi, a member of India's U-19 World Cup-winning squad in 2025, made her international debut against Sri Lanka last month in a five-match T20I series, which India won 5-0. The 20-year-old made a good impression with her tidy left-arm spin across the series, scalping five wickets.
