India Announces Women's T20 World Cup Squad

India drafts uncapped Nandini Sharma and wicketkeeper Yastika Bhatia for the Women's T20 World Cup beginning June 12 in England and Wales. Amanjot Kaur misses out due to injury. Harmanpreet Kaur leads the squad with Smriti Mandhana as vice-captain. The team also competes in a T20I series against England starting May 28.

India has made a strategic move by introducing uncapped talent Nandini Sharma and wicketkeeper Yastika Bhatia into the 15-player squad for the Women's T20 World Cup, which kicks off on June 12 in England and Wales.

Veteran all-rounder Amanjot Kaur is unable to participate due to injury, a notable omission alongside Pratika Rawal. Harmanpreet Kaur will don the captain's armband with Smriti Mandhana serving as her deputy.

Before the World Cup, these athletes will test their skills in a three-match T20I series against England starting May 28. The one-off Test match against England at Lord's is scheduled for July 10-13 with Pratika Rawal included in that squad.
