<p>Harmanpreet had suffered a knee injury during the home series against the <a href="https://www.mid-day.com/sports/cricket/article/deepti-dazzles-23454839" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener"><strong>West Indies</strong></a> last month, forcing her to sit out of the last two T20Is before returning to play three ODIs.&nbsp;Before that, she had sustained a neck injury during the match against Pakistan in the Women&rsquo;s T20 World Cup in Dubai in October.&nbsp;</p>
<p>Pacer Renuka was the player of the series in the one-dayers against the West Indies after taking 10 wickets from three matches.&nbsp;In the past, a stress fracture on the back had troubled her, so the move to rest her for the series against Ireland could be to ease her workload.</p>
