Heather Knight: Recently the schedule of the Women's Premier League was announced. The second season of the Women's Premier League will be played from 23 February. But before the tournament, Royal Challengers Bangalore has suffered a big setback. Actually, RCB player Heather Knight has withdrawn her name. Heather Knight not playing is being considered a big blow for RCB. However, South African player Nadine de Klerk has been made a part of the team in place of Heather Knight.
Why did Heather Knight withdraw her name?
According to media reports, the England and Wales Cricket Board asked its players to choose between the national team and the WPL. After this, many other England players including Heather Knight are withdrawing their names from the Women's Premier League. Actually, England women's cricket team will play a series against New Zealand. During this time, Women's Premier League is to be played in India. But the England and Wales Cricket Board wants the rest of the players, including Heather Knight, to be available for the New Zealand series and not play in the Women's Premier League.
