Dubai: Indian star cricketer Smriti Mandhana is currently going through several personal developments. In response, her close friend and teammate Jemimah Rodrigues has decided to forgo participating in the upcoming Women's Big Bash League (WBBL) season.

Rodrigues emphasized the importance of being there for Mandhana during this period, highlighting their strong friendship and mutual support beyond cricket. Her decision reflects the bond shared among teammates, especially in challenging times.

"Supporting Smriti is more important to me than playing in the WBBL right now," Rodrigues said.

This move shows how personal relationships can influence professional commitments in sports, especially within close-knit teams. Rodrigues’s absence will be felt in the league, but her priority remains Mandhana’s well-being.
