Lauren Cheatle to miss WPL after removal of skin cancer

Lauren Cheatle, who was picked up by Gujarat Giants, will miss the Womens Premier League 2024. She has undergone treatment for the removal of a skin cancer, revealed a report on Cricket Australia’s official website.

“The left-arm quick underwent a medical procedure on Wednesday. She went under the knife for a similar operation on her leg in 2021,” said the report.

This comes after the left-arm quick had been laid low with a series of setbacks including shoulder injuries.

“Cheatle is aiming to return to training with NSW following the players’ scheduled off-season break,” said Cricket New South Wales in their statement.
