India have unveiled their 15-member squad for the 2026 ICC Women’s T20 World Cup, with Harmanpreet Kaur continuing as captain and Smriti Mandhana as vice-captain. The biggest highlight is the maiden international call-up for young pacer Nandani Sharma, rewarded after an impressive domestic and WPL season. Meanwhile, all-rounder Amanjot Kaur has been left out due to unavailability, reportedly linked to injury and personal reasons. The squad sees key returns, including wicketkeeper Yastika Bhatia and spinner Radha Yadav, strengthening India’s balance. Notable omissions include Harleen Deol and a few other players as selectors prioritised form, fitness, and team combination. India will compete in a challenging group alongside Australia, Pakistan, South Africa, Bangladesh, and the Netherlands. (PC: X)
