The All-India Women’s selection committee has picked the India A team for the one-day series against Australia A in Mumbai. Australia A will play 3 one-dayers and 3 T20s against India A on the tour from October 15 to October 26.



Punam Raut will lead the side in the three one-dayers which will take place at the BKC ground in Mumbai. The India A side includes Raut, Mona Meshram, Sushma Verma who will claim to make a return after poor performances at the international level. Devika Vaidya, who missed out on the Senior Challenger Trophy in August due to dengue is set to make a comeback after captaining India Blue to the finals of the Under-23 Challenger Trophy. The squad also includes Rajeshwari Gayakwad and Shikha Pandey who were overlooked from the World T20 squad after decent performances.



The squad heavily features players who have performed well at the domestic level especially the Under 23 Challenger Trophy which took place recently in Mysore between October 4 to 8.
