India batter Jemimah Rodrigues has signed a last-minute deal to play for Northern Superchargers in the upcoming Hundred tournament in England, replacing Australia's Heather Graham.

The 22-year-old Rodrigues was among the leading run-scorer in the inaugural season of the Hundred but missed a major chunk of the competition last year due to a wrist injury.

According to espncricinfo.com, the Northern Superchargers had opted against retaining the Indian batter ahead of the draft in March this year, but have been able to bring her back in their side as an injury replacement.

The development comes close to the news that Australia have withdrawn two of the country's biggest players, Alyssa Healy and Ellyse Perry from the tournament, which is starting on August 1 and runs until the August 27.
