England is all set to host the India Women's cricket team for 5 T20Is and 3 One Day Internationals. The series will start on June 28, Saturday, at Trent Bridge, Nottingham. Ahead of the match, the India Women's team had some fun during their training session. 

The board has shared a video on social media where viewers can see cricketers hit six after six. The coaching setup arranged a six-hitting competition to make the training more interesting. Cricketers also took part in the drill with more enthusiasm. It was an intrasquad competition. Three well-balanced teams compete with each other to hit the most number of sixes.

As the team is going to play a limited overs series, their six-hitting abilities can take a major role in a decisive situation. Due to multiple injury concerns, BCCI had to make some changes in the squad. After a successful individual stint in the Women’s Premier League, Shefali Verma has returned to the squad. Kranti Gaud and Sayali Satghare have received their maiden T20I call-ups.

Before the Indian men's Test squad announcement for the five-match Test series for the England tour, the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has officially announced the India Women's squads for the white-ball series in the upcoming England tour. 

On Thursday (May 15), the Women's Selection Committee picked a 15-member Women's T20I squad and a 16-member Women's ODI squad for the upcoming England tour. India Women will play a five-match WT20I series and a three-match WODI series in the forthcoming England tour between June 28 and July 22.

Captain Harmanpreet Kaur will lead both the white-ball sides, and Smriti Mandhana will continue her deputy roles. Both white-ball squads are almost the same, excluding the presence of Shafali Verma only in the WT20I squad and the presence of Pratika Rawal and Tejal Hasabnis only in the WODI squad. Hasabnis was present during India's recent WODI tri-series win in Sri Lanka but didn't get a chance to play any of the matches. The 27-year-old has played six WODIs, where the right-handed middle-order batter recorded 160 runs with an average of 46.66 and a strike rate of 78.65, including one half-century.

India women’s team slumped to their first loss in the T20 World 2023 as they bottled up a chance to maintain their cent per cent record in the Group stage match against England on Saturday.

Chasing a target of 152 runs, Team India vice-captain Smriti Mandhana (52) notched up a brilliant half-century but failed to find support from the other end as — Shafali Verma (8) and captain Harmanpreet Kaur (4) — fell cheaply. Jemmimah Rodrigues (13) too couldn’t add much to the team tally. Mandhana was the top-scorer of the team. Her 41-ball innings included seven boundaries and one six.

However, wicketkeeper-batter Richa Ghosh (47 not out) played a resilient knock but it was not enough to take her side over the line. Her unbeaten knock of 34 deliveries was laced with four boundaries and two hits over the fence while Deepti Sharma was run out for 7 and Pooja Vastrakar (2 not out) remained unbeaten on the other end.

For England, leg-spinner Sarah Glenn was the pick of the bowlers, returning figures of 2/27.

Earlier, Nat Sciver Brunt (50) and Amy Jones (40) played crucial knocks to help England post a chaseable total of 151/7 at St George’s Park, Gqeberha. India’s Renuka Sigh, who addressed the press conference after the match, picked up a five-wicket haul but her effort went in-vain.

“I didn’t that these are the [bowling figures in a T20 World Cup, male or female]. Because I wasn’t thinking about five wickets. I was thinking about hitting the right areas,” Singh said.

“I had discussed with Troy earlier that I have not been able to take wickets in the power play. I had practiced and was able to execute this today. We had discussed that batters are reading beforehand, that I am bowling inswing. Thereby we practiced on straight ones, outswingers, and slower ones,” she added.
