Injured World Cup Winner Pratika Rawal Receives Medal After ICC Chair Intervenes

Indian batter Pratika Rawal has received her 2025 Women's ODI World Cup winner's medal after initially being denied one due to ICC rules. Rawal was a key player in India's victorious campaign but was ruled out of the final due to injury. As only the 15-member squad for the final match was eligible for medals, she was left without one during celebrations. Following an intervention by ICC Chairman Jay Shah, the governing body made an exception and sent a medal for Rawal.
