The Board of Control for Cricket in India has announced the India A squads for the upcoming all-format home series against England A Women, scheduled to begin on November 30.
The tour will feature three T20 matches, three One-Day games and a Multi-Day fixture, with the Women's Selection Committee naming separate squads for each format. Anushka Sharma will lead the side in the T20 and One-Day formats, while Minnu Mani has been handed the captaincy for the Multi-Day match.
Anushka Sharma To Lead India A In T20s And One-Day Matches
Anushka Sharma has been named captain of the India A squads for both limited-overs formats, with Minnu Mani taking up the vice-captaincy duties. The T20 squad includes Vrinda Dinesh, Tanisha Singh, Sanika Chalke, Niki Prasad, G Kamalini among others.

For the One-Day series, India A have retained several players from the T20 squad, while Priya Punia and Tejal Hasabnis have also been included.

Minnu Mani will continue as vice-captain in the One-Day format, with the selectors maintaining a familiar leadership combination across the two shorter formats.
Minnu Mani To Captain India A In Multi-Day Fixture
The selectors have handed Minnu Mani the responsibility of leading India A in the multi-day contest against England A. Tejal Hasabnis has been appointed vice-captain, with the squad featuring a mix of experienced domestic performers and emerging players.

The squad announcement also brings attention to several players looking to re-establish themselves in the national setup. Monica Patel's inclusion in the T20 squad is one of the notable selections. She last featured in senior international cricket in 2021, when she played two ODIs against South Africa.
Kashvee Gautam has also returned to the India A setup after recovering from a knee injury that required surgery. Priya Punia is another familiar name looking to make her way back into the senior national picture.
The top-order batter last played international cricket in 2024 and has been included in both the One-Day and Multi-Day squads, giving her opportunities in the 50-over and red-ball formats.
Meanwhile, Shreyanka Patil has been selected across all three formats. The off-spinning all-rounder was recently left out of India's senior squads for the home series against Zimbabwe and the upcoming tour of South Africa.
