India women’s cricket team will finally be in action after a long time. BCCI Women’s handle on X (formerly Twitter) had shared pics of Indian player training hard and batting, bowling for long hours in the nets. All eyes will be on the likes of Smriti Mandhana, captain Harmanpreet Kaur and Jemimah Rodrigues. England are coming to India to play 3 T20Is and 1 Test. All these matches will be played in Mumbai.
If you are in Mumbai or travelling to the state capital of Maharashtra, here’s a good news for you. The Maharashtra Cricket Association (MCA) has announced that there is a free entry into the stadium for the fans for all four matches to be played at the Wankhede stadium in Mumbai and DY Patil stadium in Navi Mumbai, including T20Is and Tests.
India has announced a 16-member squad for the upcoming cricket series, with Harmanpreet Kaur leading and Smriti Mandhana as her deputy. Renuka Singh Thakur makes a comeback from injury, and the team features young talents from the successful Asian Games 2023 gold-winning squad. Newcomers Saika Ishaque and Shreyanka Patil, who impressed in the Women’s Premier League, earn their first call-ups. The squad boasts a blend of experienced players like Kaur, Mandhana, Rodrigues, and Sharma, alongside promising rookies Mannat Kashyap, Kanika Ahuja, and fast-bowler Titas Sandhu.
