The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI), on Saturday, January 17, announced the Indian women’s white-ball squads for the upcoming Australia series Down Under, scheduled to start on Sunday, February 15.

Delving into the details of the ODI and T20I squads, Bharti Fulmali and Shreyanka Patil have been recalled to the T20I squad, while left-arm spinner Vaishnavi Sharma received her maiden ODI call-up.

While Fulmali has been in fine form for the Gujarat Giants in the ongoing Women’s Premier League (WPL 2026) season, Shreyanka Patil pocketed her maiden WPL five-wicket haul for Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) against the Giants.

Vaishnavi, who made her T20I debut against Sri Lanka in December 2025, earned her maiden ODI call-up, along with retaining her place in the T20I squad. Also, pacer Kashvee Gautam received her call-up to the ODI set-up.

However, all-rounder Radha Yadav, who has been in fine form in WPL 2026, hasn’t been named in both squads. G Kamalini has been picked as the backup keeper, with Richa Ghosh picked as the primary keeper.

India will lock horns with Australia in three T20Is and as many ODIs Down Under. After the three-match T20I series, both sides will clash against each other in the three-match ODI series and a one-off Test in Perth.

India’s T20I squad: Harmanpreet Kaur (C), Smriti Mandhana (VC), Shafali Verma, Renuka Thakur, Sree Charani, Vaishnavi Sharma, Kranti Gaud, Sneh Rana, Deepti Sharma, Richa Ghosh (WK), G Kamalini (WK), Arundhati Reddy, Amanjot Kaur, Jemimah Rodrigues, Bharti Fulmali, Shreyanka Patil.

India’s ODI squad: Harmanpreet Kaur (C), Smriti Mandhana (VC), Shafali Verma, Renuka Thakur, Sree Charani, Vaishnavi Sharma, Kranti Gaud, Sneh Rana, Deepti Sharma, Richa Ghosh (WK), G Kamalini (WK), Kashvee Gautam, Amanjot Kaur, Jemimah Rodrigues, Harleen Deol.
