Complete Squad: Harmanpreet Kaur (capt), Smriti Mandhana, Shafali Verma, Yastika Bhatia (wk), Richa Ghosh (wk) Jemimah Rodrigues, Harleen Deol, Deepti Sharma, Devika Vaidya, Radha Yadav, Renuka Thakur, Anjali Sarvani, Pooja Vastrakar, Rajeshwari Gayakwad, Shikha Pandey
Reserves: S Meghana, Sneh Rana, Meghna Singh.
Selectors of the India Women’s T20I team have gone with a spin-heavy approach for the India women’s T20 World Cup squad 2023 as they got services of spin all-rounders like Deepti Sharma and Rajeshwari Gayakwad while Devika Vaidya as a useful legspinner is a great add on.
Yastika Bhatia is selected as a backup wicketkeeper option for Richa Ghosh if needed because it has been confirmed by the selection committee that Richa will be the first-choice wicket-keeper in the final eleven. The good thing for Richa will be as she also plays in the u19 women’s cricket world cup 2023 for India before this event so she will have a much better know-how of the South African conditions as a lead-up for this tournament.
The batting depth of team India again looks pretty strong as they got Shafali Verma, Jemimah Rodrigues, and Harleen Deol along with their senior pros like Harmanpreet Kaur & Smriti Mandhana.
India also strengthen the all-rounders count in the team as Shikha Pandey made a comeback into the T20I squad and she will be a vital member of the final playing eleven considering her experience and good all-round capabilities.
Team India’s pace attack will be led by Shikha, Renuka Singh, Vastrakar, and Anjali Sarvani to get them early wickets in the important powerplay overs when the ball is new and it might offer some sharp seam movement due to the weather and pitch conditions in South Africa.
In reserves, team India got batter S Meghana, allrounder Sneh Rana and seamer Meghna Singh who will travel with team India for the ICC women’s T20 World Cup and can be called on if needed in case of some injury issues in the starting India women’s T20 World Cup 2023 players list of fifteen.
