Star batter Harmanpreet Kaur returns as India women’s team captain for the ODI tri-series in Sri Lanka starting later this month after she was rested for the home series against Ireland in January.

The BCCI women’s selection committee picked a 15-member squad with Smriti Mandhana as Harmanpreet’s deputy for the series that runs from April 27 to May 11, which also involves South Africa besides hosts Sri Lanka.
