India women tour for Australia: Shreyanka, Bharti return to T20I squad; Kashvee named for ODIs

The squads include three new ODI call-ups and two T20I recalls as India aims for its first white-ball series win in Australia under Harmanpreet Kaur's captaincy.

  • On January 17, 2026, the Board of Control for Cricket in India women’s selection committee named India Women’s ODI and T20I squads for a tour of Australia starting February 15, 2026, featuring three ODIs, three T20Is and one Test.
  • As current ODI champions, India Women view the Australia series as preparation for the June 2026 T20 World Cup, with BCCI selectors weighing recent Women’s Premier League performances and fitness.
  • Shreyanka Patil returned after a 14-month injury break, Bharti Fulmali earned a T20I recall for the first time since 2019, and Kashvee Gautam rejoined the ODI setup with Vaishnavi Sharma and G Kamalini called up.
  • With leadership settled, the immediate squad impacts include Harmanpreet Kaur captaining India Women in both formats and Harleen Deol omitted from T20Is but retained in ODIs.
  • The one-off Test is scheduled March 6 to 9 in Perth, and India’s red-ball squad for the Test will be named later.
