India name women's squad for ODI series against England

India on Saturday retained the 15-member women's squad, led by skipper Mithali Raj, that played in the New Zealand series for the upcoming three-match ODI rubber against England

India on Saturday retained the 15-member women's squad, led by skipper Mithali Raj, that played in the New Zealand series for the upcoming three-match ODI rubber against England starting on February 22 in Mumbai.

Jemimah Rodrigues’s highest T20I score followed by Smriti Mandhana’s cameo went into vain as a dismal batting performance from the rest of the Indian batters led India women to lose a nail-biting affair. The Indian eves lost the 2nd T20I by 4 wickets and thus, the series to New Zealand in Auckland on Friday. With this victory, the White Ferns have taken an unassailable 2-0 lead.

"The All-India Women's Selection Committee has picked the Indian Women's Cricket team for the three-match Paytm ODI series against England Women," the BCCI said in a statement.

"The three ODIs are a part of the ongoing ICC Women's Championship and will be played at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai."
India had recently won the three-ODI series against New Zealand 2-1.

The Indian board also announced the President's XI squad that will play a warm-up game ahead of the series on February 18.

"The selectors have also picked the Board President's XI squad that will play a one-day warm-up game prior to the ODI series in Mumbai on 18th February," the BCCI said.
