Harmanpreet Kaur will continue to lead the side with most of the regulars returning for the tri-series against Sri Lanka and South Africa in late April-early May. Including Kashvee, the top performers in the WPL were rewarded with the selection while Shafali Verma continued to be snubbed.<\/h2>\n<\/p>\n

The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) handed maiden call-ups to Kashvee Gautam, N Shree Charani and Shuchi Upadyay while announcing the India women’s squad for the upcoming tri-series against Sri Lanka and South Africa later this month.\u00a0Harmanpreet Kaur<\/a> will continue to lead the side with most of the regulars returning while the top performers of the recently concluded Women’s Premier League (WPL) were rewarded with a spot in the side.<\/p>\n

Gautam, who missed last year’s WPL due to injury, was the joint-highest wicket-taker among Indians playing for the Gujarat Giants in the 2025 edition, alongside Shikha Pandey. Sneh Rana, who was signed as a replacement player by RCB, Amanjot Kaur and Arundhati Reddy<\/a> also returned to the fold while Shafali Verma continued to be snubbed. Verma was the highest run-getter amongst Indians with 304 runs to her name at a strike rate of 152.76 and even did well in domestic cricket on either side of the WPL but couldn’t find her place.<\/p>\n

Prateeka Rawal, who had done well in a couple of series before the WPL is likely to accompany the vice-captain Smriti Mandhana<\/a> at the top while the usual suspects Haleen Deol, skipper Harmanpreet Kaur, Jemimah Rodrigues<\/a> and Richa Ghosh will form the middle-order, followed by Deepti Sharma<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Saima Thakor and Priya Mishra, who played the games regularly for India before the WPL were nowhere to be seen. It was a surprise given India will be without the likes of Renuka Singh Thakur, Pooja Vastrakar<\/a>, Titas Sadhu\u00a0and Shreyanka Patil with injuries. “Renuka Singh Thakur & Titas Sadhu are injured and were not considered for the selection,” a BCCI statement said.<\/p>\n

The tri-series begins on April 27 with the hosts Sri Lanka taking on India in the opener. India play their matches on April 27, 29, May 4 and 7. The top two teams will lock horns in the final on May 11.<\/p>\n

India’s squad for women’s tri-series:<\/strong> Harmanpreet Kaur (C), Smriti Mandhana (VC), Pratika Rawal, Harleen Deol, Jemimah Rodrigues, Richa Ghosh (WK), Yastika Bhatia (WK), Deepti Sharma, Amanjot Kaur, Kashvee Gautam, Sneh Rana, Arundhati Reddy, Tejal Hasabnis, N Sree Charani, Shuchi Upadhyay<\/p>\n
