Pratika Rawal Set For Warwickshire Stint

Pratika Rawal, an Indian batter, has joined Warwickshire to strengthen the team for the remainder of the 2026 season. The 25-year-old will be available for selection in Warwickshire’s One Day Cup encounter against Yorkshire at Edgbaston on August 19, having joined the team ahead of their upcoming matches.

Pratika Rawal, who debuted for India in 2024, has quickly established herself as one of the country’s most promising players.

She has 1,189 runs at an impressive average of 47.56 in only 26 List A matches, showcasing her consistency in the 50-over format.

She also had a tremendous 2025 Women’s World Cup season, hitting 308 runs and finishing second in the competition. Despite being eliminated from the knockout stages owing to an ankle injury, her historic century against New Zealand in a crucial match was critical for India.

Pratika Rawal hit a cool half-century in the second innings of her Test debut against Australia earlier this year. After recovering from an injury sustained during India A’s second one-day match against England A in Taunton on July 1, which stopped her from playing in India’s recent Lord’s Test against England, she is set to return.

“This is a terrific acquisition for the team, and we are delighted to welcome Pratika Rawal to Edgbaston. We’re currently in a fantastic position in the One Day Cup table, so bringing in a player of Pratika’s calibre can only boost our line-up as we try to end the season on a high note,” said Warwickshire head coach Ali Maiden, as quoted by Cricbuzz.

“I’m very happy to be joining Warwickshire. I’ve heard a lot of good things about the Club, and I’m thrilled to get started and try to help the squad as much as possible. Playing in England will be an excellent opportunity for me to put my skills to the test. Pratika Rawal added, “I’m looking forward to walking out at Edgbaston, which is such an iconic ground in world cricket.”
