The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) Women’s Selection Committee announced on Friday India’s 15-member squad to face the West Indies in three T20Is and three ODIs over the next two weeks. Harmanpreet Kaur will lead the side, with Smriti Mandhana, Jemimah Rodrigues, Richa Ghosh, Uma Chetry, Titas Sadhu, Deepti Sharma, Saima Thakor, Renuka Singh Thakur, Minnu Mani, and Priya Mishra included in both formats.
Nandini Kashyap, Sajana Sajeevan, Raghvi Bist, and Radha Yadav feature in the T20I squad but miss out on the ODIs. Pratika Rawal, Tejal Hasabnis, and Tanuja Kanwer will replace them for the ODIs, as per ICC.
Yastika Bhatia, Shreyanka Patil, and Priya Punia – who suffered a knock on her knee in the second ODI against Australia – miss out due to injury concerns. All three T20Is will be played at the DY Patil Stadium in Navi Mumbai, while the ODIs will be held at the Kotambi Stadium in Vadodara.
India’s most recent ODI assignment against Australia ended in a 3-0 sweep in favour of the hosts, denting India’s chances in the ICC Women’s Championship. They will now look to collect points against the West Indies and then Ireland.
