Grace Harris has been ruled out of Australia’s squad for the World Cup, which begins on 30 September.The big-hitting all-rounder suffered a calf strain in Saturday’s third one-day international against India, a record-breaking match which Australia won by 43 runs.The 32-year-old will be replaced by fellow all-rounder Heather Graham.Losing Harris is a blow to Australia, who begin the defence of their title against New Zealand on 1 October.While she has yet to transfer her T20 record to the longer white-ball format, Harris is regarded as one of the most destructive batters in the world.In this summer’s women’s Hundred, Harris had the highest batting strike-rate in the competition and also hit the most sixes.Graham, 28, only has one ODI cap to her name, which came against Sri Lanka in 2019.
