Dean As Replacement for Injured Sophie Molineux for Third Edition of Women’s Premier League, Royal Challengers Bengaluru Pick Charlie
Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) has strategically signed England cricketer Charlie Dean to replace the injured Sophie Molineux for the upcoming Women's Premier League (WPL) season. Molineux will miss the tournament's third edition due to a knee injury, as confirmed by the franchise. Dean brings significant international experience to the team, having played 36 T20Is, 39 ODIs, and 3 Tests for England.
The defending champions have secured Dean's services for a compensation fee of Rs 30 lakh, aiming to strengthen their squad as they seek to retain their title. Molineux's absence is a notable setback, given her contributions to the team. She previously showcased her skills during the Women’s Big Bash League and was expected to play a crucial role in RCB's campaign.
Dean's addition is seen as a vital move for RCB, enhancing their chances in the tournament. As the team prepares for the WPL, fans are eager to see how Dean will integrate into the squad and contribute to their title defense. The WPL is set to commence soon, and RCB will be looking to make a strong impression despite Molineux's absence.
