NEW DELHI: India Women will look to get a firm grasp of English conditions and venue characteristics during their five-match T20I series against the hosts, starting with the opening game on Saturday — a crucial step ahead of next year’s ICC Women’s World Cup, which will also be held in England.
Though the global tournament is still a year away, this series offers an ideal platform for preparation, especially after India’s disappointing group-stage exit in the previous edition.

This series may also help identify the kind of players who could thrive in these conditions, providing the selectors with a valuable blueprint going forward.
The squad sees the return of explosive opener Shafali Verma, likely to reunite with Smriti Mandhana at the top of the order after Uma Chetry failed to make a mark as an opener in her brief stint. The team has also welcomed fresh faces in Kranti Goud, Sree Charani, and Sayali Satghare, signalling a focus on experimentation and depth.
This marks India’s first T20I assignment of the year, and all eyes will be on the comeback of off-spin all-rounder Sneh Rana and pace-bowling all-rounder Amanjot Kaur, both of whom bring valuable versatility to the setup.
