India Women Squad Announced For T20Is Against Sri Lanka, Maiden Call-up For Two Young Stars

The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has announced the India women squad which will lock horns against Sri Lanka in a five-match T20I series starting December 21 in Visakhapatnam. The 15-member squad includes Harmanpreet Kaur and Smriti Mandhana as the captain and vice-captain respectively. That being said, most of the team remains the same.

Except two members, who have received their maiden call-ups to the Indian senior women’s side. Vaishnavi Sharma, who recently recorded the first-ever hat-trick in Women’s U19 World Cup history and Gunalan Kamalini have been handed their maiden call-ups to represent India at the highest level.

The five-match T20I series would be a stepping stone towards the preparation for the Women’s T20I World Cup in 2026, which will be hosted by England in the months of June & July. After coming off fresh from the ODI World Cup success, the Women in Blue would be itching to get their hands on another ICC trophy at the earliest.
