Shreyanka Patil, who has been a regular part of India’s senior setup, has spent most of the past year on the sidelines due to injuries. She initially suffered a finger injury during the Women’s Asia Cup in July 2024 and later picked up another setback after being selected for the T20 World Cup in October 2024, which caused her to miss the WPL 2025.
Despite her absence from recent competitions, she received a central contract from the BCCI and is expected to return to action in the Caribbean Premier League in September 2025
Leg-spinner Priya Mishra, who has nine ODIs under her belt, has also been included after recovering from injury. She will be part of both the one-day and four-day squads.
Meanwhile, India’s T20 opener Shafali Verma and fast bowler Titas Sadhu have been named in all three squads.
