After playing an epic one-off Test at the Bristol County Ground, the Indian women’s cricket team is gearing up for a three-match ODI series against hosts England starting on Sunday, June 27.

Under the leadership of Mithali Raj, the Women in Blue will head into the white-ball series brimming with confidence after the visitors saved the Bristol Test from the jaws of defeat. 

The Indian squad for the England ODI series includes opener Shafali Verma, Smriti Mandhana as well as all-rounders Sneh Rana and Deepti Sharma who were the standout performers in the thrilling Test match. 

The Indian team will, however, hope for a better showing from their senior pros Mithali Raj, Harmanpreet Kaur and Jhulan Goswami as they look to clinch the ODI series against a strong England side.

Meanwhile, the England women’s cricket team has also announced their 16-member squad for the highly-anticipated ODI series. 

The Heather Knight-led side has included Sophia Dunkley who could make her debut in the 50-over format on Sunday. England have also brought in Freya Davies and Sarah Glenn, who featured for their local teams during the one-off Test.

However, the four-time 50-over champions England have dropped Danielle Wyatt after she endured a poor form in the ODI series against New Zealand. Wyatt had amassed just 18 runs in the three innings during that series.
