The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has officially declared India’s Squad for England series. It will begin on June 28, 2025. The women’s cricket tour includes five T20Is and 3 ODIs, which will run until July 22.
After a seven-month gap, this series marks Shafali Verma’s return to the national T20I squad. So excited to see her back on the field. Read on to know more about the news.
Shafali Verma Makes a Comeback
After being held back for some months from the squad, aggressive batter Shafali Verma has found her way back into the T20I lineup. Her return is indicative of the side planning to assign her a specialist role only in the shorter format. Meanwhile, Pratika Rawal has also got hold of the ODI group, just underlining India’s format-based planning.
Team Leadership and Key Players
In both formats, Harmanpreet Kaur will lead the team as captain. Smriti Mandhana carries on as the vice-captain in ODI and T20I formats. This leadership duet is essential for the teams, lending experience and stability.
Another big name in the squad is Sneh Rana, the veteran all-rounder. Owing to her imposing show during the recent Tri-series in Sri Lanka, she finds a place in both ODI and T20I squads. Her presence provides depth to the bowling and middle-order lineup.
