The Women’s Selection Committee has announced the 15-member squad for the upcoming T20I and ODI series against the West Indies women’s team.

However, there are some notable absences from the team, including RCB star Shreyanka Patil and key pacer Arundhati Reddy.

Shreyanka Patil and Arundhati Reddy get lost

Shreyanka Patil, India’s standout player, will not be part of the squad due to injury. Along with Shreyanka, Yastika Bhatia and Priya Punia are also unavailable for selection due to injuries.

Another surprising omission is Arundhati Reddy, who put in an impressive performance against Australia but was left out of the ODI and T20I squads. The selectors did not provide any specific reason for their exclusion.

Also, Shafali Verma, who missed the ODI series against Australia, remains absent from the team, raising concerns over his future with the team.

The Indian women’s team will take on the West Indies women in a three-match T20I series starting December 15, with all three matches taking place at the DY Patil Stadium in Navi Mumbai. This will be followed by a three-match ODI series starting December 22 at the Kotambi Stadium in Vadodara.

Inaugural calls for Pratika Rawal and Tanuja Kanwar

In a positive development, Pratika Rawal and Tanuja Kanwar received their first ODI call-ups for the series against the West Indies. This marks an important milestone in their careers and both players will be eager to make an impact in the upcoming matches.

Additionally, Raghvi Bist and Nandini Kashyap have been included in the T20I squad, adding more depth to the team.
