The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has announced the Indian women’s squad for the upcoming tri-series against Sri Lanka and South Africa later this month, handing debut call-ups to Kashvee Gautam, N. Shree Charani, and Shuchi Upadyay. Harmanpreet Kaur will continue to lead the team, supported by several regular players and top performers from the recently concluded Women’s Premier League (WPL), who earned their place in the squad.
Shafali Verma misses out
Kashvee Gautam, who missed the previous WPL due to injury, was the joint-highest wicket-taker among Indians for the Gujarat Giants in the 2025 edition, alongside Shikha Pandey. Sneh Rana, signed as a replacement player by RCB, and Arundhati Reddy have also made a comeback, while Shafali Verma remains excluded despite being the highest run-scorer among Indians in this year’s WPL, amassing 304 runs at a striking rate of 152.76 and performing consistently in domestic cricket. Prateeka Rawal, who impressed in series preceding the WPL, is expected to open alongside vice-captain Smriti Mandhana.
The batting core will consist of Harmanpreet Kaur, Jemimah Rodrigues, Richa Ghosh, and Haleen Deol, with Deepti Sharma providing her all-round capabilities.
Surprisingly, Saima Thakor and Priya Mishra, who were regulars for India before the WPL, have not been included. This absence is notable given the injuries sidelining several key players, including Renuka Singh Thakur, Pooja Vastrakar, Titas Sadhu, and Shreyanka Patil. The BCCI clarified in their statement that “Renuka Singh Thakur and Titas Sadhu are injured and were not considered for selection.”
