The BCCI has officially announced the Indian women’s cricket team for the upcoming tour of England, scheduled for June-July 2025. Team India will play a series of 5 T20Is and 3 ODIs against England. Harmanpreet Kaur will lead India in both formats, while Smriti Mandhana has been named the vice-captain for both series.
In a surprising move, the selectors have included star opener Shafali Verma only in the T20I squad. Notably, Verma has not played an ODI since October 2024. Meanwhile, Richa Ghosh, Yastika Bhatia, and Harleen Deol have been selected for both squads.
Kashvee Gautam, the 22-year-old fast bowler who played for Gujarat Giants in the WPL, has been dropped from the team. Her spot in the ODI squad has been taken by fast bowler Sayali Satghare, who returns to the side. She will be joined by pace bowlers Shri Charani and Kranti Gaud.
