India announce squad for Women's Asia Cup 2024
India have named their 15-player squad for the Women's Asia Cup 2024, beginning 19 July.
The ninth edition of the Women's Asia Cup will be played from 19 to 28 July in Sri Lanka in the T20 format. The tournament offers the Asian teams a chance to experiment and fine-tune their squads ahead of the ICC Women's T20 World Cup later this year.
India's 15-member squad will be led by Harmanpreet Kaur with Smriti Mandhana as her deputy.
Eight teams divided in two groups of four will be participating in the tournament, with India in Group A alongside Nepal, Pakistan, and UAE.
India begin their Asia Cup campaign on 19 July, against Pakistan. They will then take on UAE on 21 July, followed by Nepal on 23 July.
Top two teams from each group will progress to the semi-finals, with the final being played on 28 July. All matches will be played in Dambulla.
Alongside the 15, India have also named four travelling reserves: Shweta Sehrawat, Saika Ishaque, Tanuja Kanwer, and Meghna Singh.
