India name women's squads for England tour; Jhulan returns for ODIs, Navgire gets maiden call-up


Mumbai, Aug 19 (IANS): India on Friday announced the women's ODI and T20I squads for England tour, which begins on September 10.

Both teams will be captained by Harmanpreet Kaur with senior fast bowler Jhulan Goswami making a comeback in the ODI squad. The 39-year-old Goswami had missed the tour of Sri Lanka in July amid speculations about her international future.

On the other hand, Jemimah Rodrigues, who was ruled out of The Hundred in England with a wrist injury, was named in both squads.

Wicketkeeper Richa Ghosh returned to the T20I squad but batter Yastika Bhatia, who had made an appearance in the CWG 2022 final as a concussion substitute lost her place in the T20I squad, but she was retained in the ODI squad.

Allrounder Dayalan Hemalatha, who last played a T20I in 2019, was also recalled to the squad. She has also been picked for the ODIs, where her last appearance came at home against South Africa in 2021.

India will play three T20Is in England on September 10, 13 and 15, followed by three T20Is on September 18, 21 and 24.
