BCCI Announces India’s squad for the Women’s Asia Cup 2024

The India Women’s Asia Cup squad 2024 was announced by the BCCI on July 6. Harmanpreet Kaur will be leading the team, with Smriti Mandhana serving as her deputy. The Women’s Asia Cup 2024 will take place in Sri Lanka from July 19 to July 28, and it will be played in the T20 format.

Out of the 17 players in the India Women’s Squad participating in the series against the South African women’s team, the selection committee has decided to keep 15 of them, leaving out Amanjot Kaur and Shabnam Shakil.

Harmanpreet Kaur, who guided India to the Asian title two years ago, will continue to lead the team. The final squad comprises Richa Ghosh and Uma Chetry as wicketkeepers, while Shweta Sehrawat, Saika Ishaque, Tanuja Kanwer, and Meghna Singh will accompany the team as reserves.

India is the dominant force in the Women’s Asia Cup, winning seven out of the previous eight editions. In the ninth edition of the women’s Asia Cup, which will take place in Sri Lanka, they are placed in Group A with their eternal rivals Pakistan, Nepal, and the United Arab Emirates (UAE).

All of the Asia Cup’s matches are slated to take place at the Rangiri Dambulla International Stadium from July 19 to July 28.

In preparation for the ICC Women’s T20 World Cup later this year, the competition allows the Asian sides to test out and home their teams.
