The Women's Selection Committee announced India A squads for all three formats of a home series against England A on November 11, 2026. The series covers T20 matches, One-Day fixtures and a Multi-Day game, making it a comprehensive all-format assignment for the Indian women's A side.

Anushka Sharma will captain the T20 and One-Day squads, with Minnu Mani named as vice-captain in both. For the Multi-Day match, the leadership changes: Minnu Mani takes over as captain, while Tejal Hasabnis is named her deputy. Shipra Giri is the only player to feature across all three squads as a wicketkeeper.

The T20 matches are scheduled to be held at the Maharashtra Cricket Association Stadium in Pune, while the One-Day fixtures and the Multi-Day match will take place at Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai.

Which players feature across multiple formats?

Several players have been selected in more than one squad, reflecting the selectors' confidence in their versatility. Tanisha Singh, Shreyanka Patil, Saima Thakor and Kashvee Gautam are all present in both the T20 and One-Day squads. Shipra Giri, the wicketkeeper, is the only cricketer named in all three format squads.

Priya Punia, Tejal Hasabnis, Amisha Bahukandi, Shabnam Shakil and Akshita Bhagat appear in both the One-Day and Multi-Day squads. Players such as Sanika Chalke, Amanjot Kaur, Vaishnavi Sharma, Prema Rawat and Monica Patel are exclusive to the T20 squad, while Shubha Satheesh, Purvaja Verlekar, Henreitta Perera, Uma Chetry and Happy Kumari are named only in the Multi-Day squad.

What are the venue arrangements for the series?

The series is split across two of India's prominent cricket venues. Pune's Maharashtra Cricket Association Stadium will host the T20 leg of the series, providing a setting that has regularly staged high-profile domestic and international fixtures. Mumbai's Wankhede Stadium, one of the most recognised grounds in Indian cricket, will serve as the venue for both the One-Day matches and the Multi-Day game against England A. The split-venue arrangement gives the England A side exposure to different playing surfaces and conditions across the formats.
