Neetu David on Tuesday announced the squad for the upcoming Women’s World Cup after a slight delay. As expected, Harmanpreet Kaur and Smriti Mandhana were the captain and the vice-captain duo. The only major miss in the squad was out-of-favour batter Shafali Verma, who is currently playing in the IND A vs AUS A series.
On the bowling front, Titas Sadhu was not picked in the Women’s World Cup team. A host of youngsters were picked too — Kranti Gaud, Amanjot Kaur, Sree Charani. On the experience front, Sneh Rana was entrusted as the one of the main spinners along with Deepti Sharma, while Yastika Bhatia is back too, as the second keeper. Richa Ghosh, of course is the main keeper.
