Bengaluru, Aug 24: The All-India Senior Women's Selection Committee on Tuesday picked the squads for India Women's upcoming tour in Australia.
The series will comprise 3 ODIs, one Test match and 3 T20Is. Mithali Raj is set to lead to 18-member side for the ODI matches and one-off Test. Harmanpreet Kaur will lead the 17-member squad announced by the BCCI for the T20 series.
While left-arm spinner Rajeshwari Gaikwad made a comeback to the team, seam bowlers Meghna Singh and Renuka Singh Thakur were handed maiden India call-ups.
The selectors decided to reward 27-year-old Meghna and 25-year-old Renuka for their exploits in the senior one-day trophy in April. While right-arm medium pacer Meghna took five wickets for Railways, Renuka grabbed nine wickets for Himachal Pradesh during the tournament.
Left-handed batter Yastika Bhatia also found a place in all the three squads but Priya Punia and Indrani Roy were left out. Experienced spinner Rajeshwari, who was part of the South Africa series, was not considered for England tour as she was recovering from a knee injury and had also suffered a bout of COVID-19.
While the squad has been announced by the BCCI on Tuesday, members of the women's team have been in Bengaluru since Aug 10 and have already started training. The players started training after a six-day quarantine.
The Indian team is set to leave for Australia on August 29th. Upon arrival in Australia, the players will have to undergo a 14-day quarantine, before facing the hosts in the first ODI to be held in Sydney.
