Former Team India women’s captain Diana Edulji reckons Harmanpreet Kaur’s Indian team have an excellent opportunity to replicate what T20 world champions Rohit Sharma & Co did in June by emerging champions in the women’s T20 World Cup, starting in the UAE on October 3.
On Tuesday, the BCCI announced a 15-member squad which included star batters Smriti Mandhana, Shafali Verma, Jemimah Rodrigues and Richa Ghosh. Mandhana has been named Kaur’s deputy while off-spin bowling all-rounder Shreyanka Patil and top-order batter Yastika Bhatia have been included in the squad subject to fitness. Shreyanka had fractured her finger during the Asia Cup game against Pakistan on July 19, while Bhatia is recovering from a knee injury.
