Indian Cricketer Pratika Rawal Signs with Warwickshire Bears Until 2026
India women's cricket opener Pratika Rawal has signed a contract with Warwickshire Bears Women that runs until the end of the 2026 season. The deal allows her to join the club ahead of the next round of the Metro Bank One-Day Cup, which begins on 19 August, and she will be available for the remaining fixtures.
Rawal returns after a knee injury suffered during an India A versus England A one‑day match in July, which forced her out of the historic Women’s Test at Lord’s and other recent games. She expressed excitement about playing at Edgbaston and testing herself in English conditions. Warwickshire, currently fifth in the One‑Day Cup table with 22 points from 11 matches, welcomed the signing, with head coach Ali Maiden describing it as a "fantastic signing" that will strengthen the side for the season’s climax.
