The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) announced the Senior India women’s squads for the one-off Test, three ODIs and three T20Is against England starting June 16 when they return to Test cricket after seven years in Bristol.
Shafali Verma, who wasn’t picked in the ODI squad for the series against South Africa has earned a maiden call-up in the Test and the ODI squad, while the veteran pacer Shikha Pandey and wicket-keeper batter after being dropped in the South Africa series have returned to the fold.
Apart from those, maintaining the legacy of wicket-keeper batters from Jharkhand, the youngster Indrani Roy has earned maiden call-ups in both the ODI and the T20I squad.
While Mithali Raj will be captaining the side in the ODIs and the one Test, Harmanpreet Kaur will be leading the side in the T20Is, with Smriti Mandhana as her deputy.
