India A squads out: Shreyanka Patil included in all-format England series

The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has announced three India A women’s squads for the upcoming home series against England A, with Shreyanka Patil earning selection across all three formats. The all-rounder’s inclusion is one of the major highlights of the squad announcement, which features three T20 matches, three One-Day fixtures and a multi-day contest.

The Women’s Selection Committee announced the squads on November 11, 2026, with the series scheduled to begin on November 30 in Pune. The remaining matches will take place in Mumbai, giving several emerging Indian players an opportunity to impress against international opposition.

Shreyanka Patil returns to India A setup

Shreyanka’s selection comes after an impressive run in domestic cricket. The Karnataka all-rounder has been in excellent form in the ongoing Senior Women’s T20 Trophy, registering consecutive five-wicket hauls.

She claimed 5/26 against Maharashtra on October 27 before producing another outstanding performance against Goa, returning figures of 5/18 just two days later.

Her consistent performances have helped her earn a place in all three India A squads. Shreyanka last represented India during the victorious Asian Games campaign and was subsequently left out of the home series against Zimbabwe and the South Africa tour.

The England A assignment provides her with an important opportunity to strengthen her international credentials and push for a return to the senior Indian team.

Anushka Sharma to captain India A in T20 and One-Day matches

The BCCI has appointed Anushka Sharma as captain of the India A teams for the T20 and One-Day formats. All-rounder Minnu Mani will serve as her deputy in both squads.

For the multi-day fixture, the leadership responsibilities will change, with Minnu taking over as captain and Tejal Hasabnis named vice-captain.

The selection also includes several promising names, including Vrinda Dinesh, Niki Prasad, G Kamalini, Amanjot Kaur and Kashvee Gautam.
