BCCI announces India Women’s cricket team squads for Australia tour

The All-India Senior Women’s Selection Committee on Tuesday announced India women squads for the one-off Test, ODI, and T20I series for their tour of Australia. The tour will be played between September 19 to October 11. The series will comprise 3 ODIs, one Test match, and 3 T20Is. Mithali Raj has been named the captain for the historic day-night Test and the ODI series. Harmanpreet Kaur will lead the visitors in the T20I series.

India plays their first-ever day-night women’s Test at the WACA in Perth from September 30 to October 3. Earlier this year, India registered a historic draw against England in Bristol.

And after an impressive England tour, Sneh Rama finds a place in the Test and ODI squad for the Australia tour.
