India name white-ball squads for Australia tour
India will feature in the 50-over format for the first time since being crowned world champions.
India have announced their squads for the T20I and ODI series against Australia scheduled for February 2026.
Harmanpreet Kaur will lead the team in both formats as the newly crowned world champions will look for a first-ever series victory over Australia in white-ball cricket.
Vaishnavi Sharma, G Kamalini and Kashvee Gautam are the three new additions to the Indian squad that won the ICC Women’s Cricket World Cup last year, with Uma Chetry, Yastika Bhatia and Pratika Rawal missing out.
In the T20I squad, India have made just two changes from the series against Sri Lanka, with Shreyanka Patil coming in place of Harleen Deol. Bharati Fulmali too makes her return in the T20I squad, having debuted in the shortest format and last featured for India back in 2019.
India will take on Australia in a three-match T20I series starting at Sydney on February 15, with the ODI series to follow on February 24.
