The Maharaja Yadavindra Singh PCA: The Neetu David-led selection committee is likely to announce the squad for the Women’s ODI World Cup and the preceding three-match home ODI series against Australia on Tuesday. Sources tracking the developments told IANS that the selection committee meeting is scheduled for Tuesday afternoon. There have also been indications that the World Cup squad may be finalised in the meeting, but could be announced at a later date.
“More details on the Women’s ODI World Cup squad announcement could come once there is official confirmation and relevant logistics around it are sorted. It is to be noted that there is a red alert in Mumbai for heavy rain,” the sources added.
There was initial speculation that both squads could be different, with an aim to keep certain players fresh for the World Cup. But now it has emerged that the same squad is likely to be announced, with scope for only minimal changes depending on what the five-member selection committee and team management decide.
