Litchfield likely to miss three T20 World Cup matches for Australia

Opener Phoebe Litchfield is expected to be sidelined for Australia's next three matches in the Women's T20 World Cup due to a quad injury sustained while batting against South Africa. Litchfield scored 50 in Australia's opening victory over South Africa, which they won by 65 runs. All-rounder Ashleigh Gardner is also unavailable for the match against Bangladesh due to an ankle sprain. Grace Harris has stepped in for Litchfield, and seamer Megan Schutt has replaced Gardner. Australia will face the Netherlands on June 17 and Pakistan on June 20, aiming for Litchfield's return against India on June 28.
