India Squad For ICC Women's T20 World Cup 2024: The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has announced a 15-member India squad for the ICC Women's T20 World Cup 2024. Harmanpreet Kaur will lead the team in the ICC event which was scheduled to take place in Bangladesh but was moved to the United Arab Emirates (UAE) because of the tensed political situation in the country. Smriti Mandhana will be Harmanpreet Kaur's Deputy.

Yastika Bhatia and Shreyanka Patil also find their name in the T20 World Cup 2024 squad although their names are subject to fitness clearnance failing which they could be replaced before the marquee event.

As far as India's performance in the previous T20 World Cup is concerned, the Women in Blue had managed to reach the semifinal where they succumbed to a 5-run defeat to the ultimate champions Australia. India have reached the summit clash of the marquee event twice before but have never gone on to lift the trophy. With the Men's T20 team having won a T20 World Cup earlier this year, the women's team will want to make it a rare double for India.
