MUMBAI: The BCCI on Tuesday announced the 15-member Indian squad for the Women’s T20 World Cup 2024, scheduled to be held from October 3 in the UAE, after it was moved out of Bangladesh recently due to a violent student protest and change of regime there.
As expected, the experienced and bighitting Harmanpreet Kaur will lead the familiar-looking side, with star batter Smriti Mandhana named as her deputy. Besides the duo, explosive opener Shafali Verma, middle-order batter Jemimah Rodrigues and allrounder Deepti Sharma will lead India’s batting charge, while seamer Renuka Singh, who could be a handful under lights in the UAE, and Pooja Vastrakar will be the pace spearheads.
