India Women vs West Indies Women Series Schedule (T20I and ODI)

In a notable move, 24-year-old uncapped batter Pratika Rawal has earned her maiden call-up for the ODI squad, replacing Priya Punia, who was earlier called up for the Australia series but now finds herself sidelined due to injury. Yastika Bhatia is another absentee, also missing out due to fitness issues. Meanwhile, all-rounders Shreyanka Patil and Pooja Vastrakar remain unavailable.

The ODI squad, led by Harmanpreet Kaur, sees Smriti Mandhana as vice-captain, while Jemimah Rodrigues and Deepti Sharma form the backbone of the middle order. Rawal's inclusion adds depth, with emerging talents like Minnu Mani and Titas Sadhu joining seasoned campaigners Renuka Singh Thakur and Deepti.

In the T20I setup, Nandini Kashyap and Raghvi Bist have been handed their maiden call-ups, showcasing the selectors' focus on infusing fresh talent. Priya Mishra, Titas Sadhu, Saima Thakor, and Minnu Mani have been included in both squads, ensuring consistency in player development. Radha Yadav makes her return to the T20I side, but Tanuja Kanwer gets the nod for the ODI series, bringing her experience of four international caps.

Notably absent from both squads is Arundhati Reddy, despite her impressive 4/26 performance in the final ODI against Australia. Shafali Verma, too, remains overlooked in the T20I format, signaling a shift in approach from the selectors as India eyes a stronger and more balanced team composition.

The West Indies tour carries significant weight, especially as India prepares to host the Women's ODI World Cup next year. Following a 3-0 series defeat against Australia, the ODIs against West Indies present a crucial opportunity for the team to regroup and find form.

The series kicks off on December 15 with the first T20I at DY Patil Stadium. With fresh faces and key players looking to cement their roles, fans can expect an exciting contest as India sets sights on redemption and preparation for the global stage.
