Renuka Singh, Richa Ghosh left out; Shreyanka Patil ignored as India name women’s team for Bangladesh tour – Times of India

NEW DELHI: India announced an 18-member Indian women’s cricket team for the upcoming limited-overs tour of Bangladesh, set to commence on July 9 in Mirpur. Right-arm pacer Renuka Singh and Richa Ghosh were excluded from the squad, while young off-spinner Shreyanka Patil did not receive a selection nod.
Harmanpreet Kaur will continue to lead the side, while Smriti Mandhana has been appointed as her deputy for the tour.
The Indian team is scheduled to compete in three T20Is and three ODIs against Bangladesh, with all six matches taking place at the Sher-e-Bangla National Cricket Stadium (SBNCS) in Mirpur.

The exclusion of wicket-keeper batter Richa Ghosh and off-spinner Shreyanka Patil from the Indian women’s cricket team is surprising, especially considering their recent performances. Patil impressed with nine wickets during India’s victory in the ACC Women’s Emerging Teams Asia Cup in Hong Kong last month.

The reasons for Ghosh’s omission remain unclear, leaving fans and pundits curious about the decision. Similarly, Patil’s exclusion from making her debut in the senior side, despite her exceptional performances in Hong Kong, raises questions.
It has been reported that Renuka Singh is not part of the squad for the entire series due to an injury. In their absence, Yastika Bhatia and Uma Chetry have been included as the wicketkeepers in the squad.
Notably, spin all-rounder Sneh Rana is not part of the T20 squad but has secured a place in the ODI team. On the other hand, S Meghana has been included in the T20 format but has not found a place in the 50-over squad.
Squads:
India’s T20I squad: Harmanpreet Kaur (C), Smriti Mandhana (VC), Deepti Sharma, Shafali Verma, Jemimah Rodrigues, Yastika Bhatia (wk), Harleen Deol, Devika Vaidya, Uma Chetry (wk), Amanjot Kaur, S. Meghana, Pooja Vastrakar, Meghna Singh, Anjali Sarvani, Monica Patel, Rashi Kanojiya, Anusha Bareddy, Minnu Mani.
India’s ODI squad: Harmanpreet Kaur (C), Smriti Mandhana (VC), Deepti Sharma, Shafali Verma, Jemimah Rodrigues, Yastika Bhatia (wk), Harleen Deol, Devika Vaidya, Uma Chetry (wk), Amanjot Kaur, Priya Punia, Pooja Vastrakar, Meghna Singh, Anjali Sarvani, Monica Patel, Rashi Kanojiya, Anusha Bareddy, Sneh Rana.
The tour will start with the first T20I in Mirpur on July 9, followed by next two matches on July 11 and 13. The ODIs will be played on July 16, 19 and 22 respectively at the same venue.
