India’s women’s team will be seen in action against Bangladesh for their T20Is and ODI series from July 9 as the fixtures are leased by the “Board of Control for Cricket in India.” Recently, India’s women’s star player Harman Preet Kaur would be leading the team with Smriti Mandhana as the Vice Captain of the team for both ODIs and T20Is. There are six matches to be played between the three teams in each format, and all the matches will be played at the Sher-e-Bangla National Cricket Stadium (SBNCS) in Mirpur. Some big names didn’t find their spot in either squad: wicketkeeper batter Richa Ghosh and Priyanka Patil are not included in the team, and that is an odd decision as Priyanka Patil took nine wickets in the ACC Women’s Emerging Teams Asia Cup in Hong Kong last month and was quite worthy of being in the team, but selectors decided to give him some more time to improve her game.
Pacer Shikha Pandey has been dropped from the squad despite her good performance in the WPL. The selectors might have wanted to give newcomers a chance to display their skill set, which is why regular spin attack bowlers Radha Yadav and Rajeshwari Gayakwad are not included in the team. Sneh Rana has found a place in the ODI team but not in the T20 squad. Matches will kick off on July 9, and the first three matches will be T20Is. The last match will be on July 13, and from July 16, ODI matches will start. The last ODI match will be played on July 22.
