India Squad for Sri Lanka WT20I Series: Kamalini, Vaishnavi Receive Maiden Senior Team Call-Up

India’s squad includes two Under-19 World Cup players making their senior debuts as the team returns to T20I cricket after their ODI World Cup win.

  • On Tuesday, India named a 15-player women's squad for a home five-match T20I series against Sri Lanka, scheduled from December 21 in Visakhapatnam to December 30 in Thiruvananthapuram.
  • After England earlier this year, India return to the shortest format with a familiar group largely retained from their ODI World Cup win last month.
  • Harmanpreet Kaur will lead the side with Smriti Mandhana as deputy, featuring Jemimah Rodrigues, Shafali Verma, Richa Ghosh and Renuka Singh Thakur returning from injury.
  • Two Under-19 standouts earn maiden senior call-ups, G. Kamalini and Vaishnavi Sharma, while Radha Yadav, Sayali Satghare, Yastika Bhatia, and Uma Chetry are absent.
  • Recent franchise and U19 performances shaped the prospects of the two newcomers as Vaishnavi Sharma led wickets at the Under-19 Women's T20 World Cup and Senior Women's T20 Trophy, yet went unsold at the WPL auction.
