Rodrigues left for the UK on Friday, July 28th and will link up with the Northern Superchargers for The Hundred, which is set to be contested from 1st August to 27th August. The 22-year-old batting all-rounder will replace Australian all-rounder Heather Graham. Jemimah is unique as she is one of the few Indian players to compete in both the Big Bash league as well as The Hundred.
Last season she played two games, scoring 53 runs in all as her team finished fifth with three wins in six games. The Superchargers will begin their campaign against Birmingham Phoenix on the 3rd of August. They will play a total of eight games across The Hundred campaign, ending with a clash against Welsh Fire on the 22nd of August.
