The Indian women’s cricket team will depart from Mumbai on November 30 for Brisbane, where they will begin preparations for the series against Australia.
The Indian Senior Women’s Cricket Team for the three-match ODI series are: Harmanpreet Kaur (C), Smriti Mandhana (VC), Richa Ghosh (WK), Tejal Hasabnis, Priya Punia, Jemimah Rodrigues, Yastika Bhatia (WK), Deepti Sharma, Minnu Mani, Harleen Deol, Priya Mishra, Renuka Singh Thakur, Saima Thakor, Radha Yadav, Titas Sadhu, and Arundhati Reddy.
