"Harleen Deol has been left out of T20I squad while Uma Chetry, Arundhati Reddy and Radha Yadav are dropped from the title-winning ODI squad"
Bharati Fulmali makes a stunning comeback to the India Women T20I squad since 2019, joined by Shreyanka Patil for the February 2026 Australia tour. G Kamalini and Vaishnavi Sharma earn maiden ODI caps in a squad refresh post-World Cup glory.
Bold Selection Shifts
Harleen Deol misses the T20I cut, while ODI World Cup winners Uma Chetry, Arundhati Reddy, and Radha Yadav are dropped. 17-year-old wicketkeeper G Kamalini and left-arm spinner Vaishnavi Sharma, who featured in the Sri Lanka T20Is, step up for 50-overs.
Harmanpreet Kaur leads the charge for a historic series win Down Under. Fulmali's return adds batting firepower, Patil's off-spin strengthens the attack. This mix of youth and recall signals India's depth ahead of global assignments.
Indian fans relish the drama – reminiscent of IPL auction surprises. The tour tests preparations against Australia's might.
