Harmanpreet To Lead India For First Time In Women's ODI WC; Shafali Misses Out

By IANS News August 19, 2025 • 16:48 PM View: 398

Cricket World Cup Final: Harmanpreet Kaur is set to lead India for the first time in the ICC Women's ODI World Cup with Smriti Mandhana as her deputy, as the hosts unveiled a strong 15-member squad for the upcoming edition of the marquee event, commencing on September 30.

Opener Shafali Verma is a notable omission from the squad, while pace spearhead Renuka Thakur returns to the 15-member side after a long injury layoff.

In Pooja Vastrakar's absence from the side due to a long-standing stress injury, the team management found an able back-up in the form of Amanjot Kaur.
