The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has announced two squads of 16 members each for the upcoming ODI and T20I series against Australia. Harmanpreet Kaur will lead the team in both series and will have Smriti Mandhana as her deputy.
Fresh from two consecutive historic Test wins over England and Australia, the Harmanpreet Kaur-led side shifts its attention towards the white-ball circuit. The Women’s Selection Committee has named an unchanged T20I squad (that played against England) for the Australia series.
Though the Indian team had to suffer a 2-1 defeat at home against Heather Knight's side in the recent three-match T20I series, the two consecutive Test wins have lifted the
spirits of the team and it may reflect in the outcome of the white-ball series.
