Shreyanka Patil and Arundhati Reddy Miss Out
Shreyanka Patil, a prominent player for India, will not be part of the squad due to injury. Along with Shreyanka, Yastika Bhatia and Priya Punia are also unavailable for selection due to injuries.
Another surprising omission is Arundhati Reddy, who had an impressive performance against Australia but has been left out of both the ODI and T20I squads. The selectors did not provide any specific reasons for her exclusion.
In addition, Shafali Verma, who missed out on the ODI series against Australia, continues to be absent from the squad, raising concerns about her future with the team.
The Indian Women’s team will take on the West Indies Women in a three-match T20I series starting December 15, with all three matches set to be held at the DY Patil Stadium in Navi Mumbai. This will be followed by a three-match ODI series starting December 22 at the Kotambi Stadium in Vadodara.
