India Women off-spinner Shreyanka Patil is set to make her return to competitive cricket through the upcoming Women’s Caribbean Premier League (WCPL) 2025 season in the Caribbean. Having missed the entirety of the WPL 2025 season in India earlier this year owing to an injury, Shreyanka made her last competitive outing back in October 2024 during the 2024 ICC Women’s T20 World Cup in the UAE.
Setting herself up for an exciting return, the 23-year-old also found time to envision her dream T20 team, where she blended eras as well as genders to formulate her near ‘perfect’ playing XI.

While chatting with Dan Jadzevics ahead of the WCPL 2025 season in the West Indies, Indian off-spinner Shreyanka Patil was asked to name her dream T20 playing XI, regardless of the playing eras or genders.
The cricketer named RCB icons Virat Kohli, Chris Gayle and AB de Villiers as her top three, before naming women superstars Harmanpreet Kaur, Grace Harris and Chinelle Henry as her middle-order.
Persuaded to nominate herself, Shreyanka Patil placed herself at number seven. The youngster also put Australian women’s champion player Sophie Molineux and legendary West Indies men’s all-rounder and T20 globe-trotter Andre Russell at number eight and number nine respectively.
Shreyanka capped her playing XI by naming Indian pace machine Jasprit Bumrah and Afghanistan spin wizard Rashid Khan.
