India pacer to miss Women's Championship series against Zimbabwe
Right-arm quick Jintimani Kalita has been introduced to the squad for the three-match series starting 23 October.
India pacer Renuka Singh will not be part of the three-match ODI series at home against Zimbabwe, as part of the ICC Women's Championship.
The BCCI confirmed via a statement that Renuka is still building up the bowling volume required for the 50-over format at the BCCI Centre of Excellence. Renuka last featured for India in the ICC Women’s T20 World Cup 2026.
India's updated ODI Squad: Smriti Mandhana [C], Shafali Verma, Pratika Rawal, Harmanpreet Kaur, Harleen Deol, Tejal Hasabnis, Deepti Sharma [VC], Richa Ghosh [WK], Yastika Bhatia [WK], Vaishnavi Sharma, Nandni Sharma, Sree Charani, Kranti Gaud, Sayali Satghare, Jintimani Kalita
The experienced quick had been named in the squad earlier but will now miss out on the three matches. In her stead, uncapped fast bowler Jintimani Kalita has been added to India’s squad.
Kalita was part of India’s T20I squad in the recently concluded 3-0 series sweep over Zimbabwe and has travelled to Baroda where the three ODIs will be played.
India and Zimbabwe will lock horns in the first of three ODIs starting 23 October.
Series schedule:
First ODI: October 23, Baroda
