The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has
announced the Indian women's squads for the upcoming Bangladesh tour.
The Harmanpreet Kaur-led side will play three T20Is and as
many ODI matches in the neighboring country between July 9 and 22. The tour
will commence with the first T20I on July 9 in Dhaka.
Richa Ghosh, Renuka Singh, Radha Yadav, and Shikha Pandey
are notable exclusions in both squads. The selectors gave a chance to fringe
players like Uma Chetry, Monica Patel, Anusha Bareddy, Rashi Kanojiya, and
Minnu Mani on this tour.
Priya Punia, 26, also made a comeback to the Indian side
after more than two years. Harmanpreet Kaur will continue to lead the side with
Smriti Mandhana as her deputy. The rest of the squad comprises the usual
suspects.
