Selection Dilemmas Loom As India Set To Name Women’s T20 WC Squad On Saturday
Inter Zonal Multi Day Trophy: Selection dilemmas will loom large as India prepares to unveil its squad for the 2026 Women’s T20 World Cup at the BCCI HQ in Mumbai on Saturday evening
The tenth edition of the mega event in the shortest format will be played in England from June 12 to July 5, where India will aim to win its first title and the squad for it will be announced in a press conference, after the selection committee is done with its meeting.
Expectations from the Harmanpreet Kaur-led side will be high, especially after they won the 2025 Women’s ODI World Cup on home soil. Though India ended a long wait for a global title in senior women’s cricket, it’s T20I record still remains mixed. India swept Sri Lanka 5-0 at home in December last year, and even defeated England in their backyard. They went on to edge Australia 2-1 away, but stumbled to a 4-1 defeat in South Africa last month.
