India A have announced their women’s squads for an all-format home series against England A, with Shreyanka Patil selected across all three formats and Kashvee Gautam returning to the white-ball teams after knee surgery. The series will feature three T20s in Pune from November 30, 2026, followed by three One-Day matches in Mumbai and a multi-day red-ball fixture beginning on December 19.
Shreyanka’s inclusion offers the all-rounder an opportunity to press her case again. She last played international cricket during India’s victorious Asian Games campaign before being overlooked for the home series against Zimbabwe and the upcoming South Africa tour. She joins Minnu Mani, Shipra Giri, Tanisha Singh and Saima Thakor as the five players selected for every format.
Kashvee’s return adds another compelling storyline. The fast-bowling all-rounder last represented India during the T20I tour of South Africa in April before a knee injury required surgery. Having resumed competitive cricket for Chandigarh in the ongoing Senior Women’s T20 Trophy, she now takes another step forward with selection in both white-ball squads.
Batter Anushka Sharma will captain India A in the T20 and One-Day matches, with Minnu as vice-captain. The leadership will change for the red-ball fixture, when Minnu takes charge, and Tejal Hasabnis becomes her deputy. That arrangement gives Anushka a sustained white-ball leadership opportunity while placing Minnu at the centre of the side’s transition between formats.
Pune will host the T20 opener on November 30 at 1 PM, followed by matches on December 3 and 5, both starting at 6 PM. The action then moves to Mumbai’s Wankhede Stadium for One-Day matches on December 8, 11 and 14, with the opening match beginning at 9 AM. Wankhede will also stage the multi-day fixture from December 19.
Across seven fixtures, the series offers returning players and emerging prospects a platform to demonstrate both form and adaptability.
