Deepti Sharma withdraws from The Hundred 2025 tournament for workload management reasons. The Indian cricket star wants to focus on her international duties. She prioritizes upcoming matches before the important ODI World Cup.
Deepti Sharma won’t play in The Hundred 2025 this year. She already has many cricket matches to play for India. She has many international matches coming up this year.
Deepti Makes Smart Decisions for Her Career
The ODI World Cup happens between September and November. Deepti must save her energy for these important matches. She knows her country needs her best performance during the World Cup.
Cricket players often face too many matches in a short time. Smart players like Deepti choose their tournaments carefully to avoid getting tired. This decision shows she thinks about her long-term cricket career.
The Indian team management likely supports her choice to rest now. They want their star player ready for the biggest cricket events. Deepti’s health matters more than playing in every possible tournament.
London Spirit Loses Their Star Player
Last year, Deepti performed brilliantly for London Spirit in The Hundred. She got the Most Valuable Player title for her excellent work. Her excellent performance helped the London Spirit win their first championship title.
The London Spirit team thanks Deepti for her incredible contributions last year. She created an iconic moment that secured their historic first victory.
“Deepti will always have a special place in Spirit history, having produced the team’s most iconic moment when she struck the ball over long-on for six to secure our first The Hundred title last summer. She starred with bat and ball throughout the tournament, and was the highest-ranked Spirit player in the MVP standings – we hope to be able to welcome her back to Lord’s in future years,” the franchise said.
Losing such a talented player hurts any team’s chances of winning. However, London Spirit respects Deepti’s decision to focus on international cricket. They understand that the country comes first for professional cricket players.
