India Women

IND-W, led by Harmanpreet Kaur, has been in good form, with a balanced blend of experienced players and promising young talent. While they lost a bilateral series against Australia in January this year, Kaur and her troops are expected to put on a good show against the Proteas.

In a big boost, Jemimah Rodriguez, who was sent to NCA for rehab from a back injury, has been included in the ODI squad subject to fitness. Additionally, Pooja Vastrakar’s selection is also under the scanner due to fitness issues.
