The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) revealed the India A squad for the upcoming T20 series against England A on Friday. However, the announcement was overshadowed by errors in the Indian squad list, notably featuring spelling mistakes in the names of Shreyanka Patil and Kashvee Gautam. Adding to the mix-up, BCCI erroneously linked Monica Patel with the Karnataka state cricket body, despite her current representation for Railways in domestic cricket.

In a historic move, 24-year-old off-spinner C Minnu Mani from Kerala was appointed as the captain of the India Women team for the three-match T20I series against England, set to kick off in Mumbai on November 29. Not only does Minnu become the leader of the India ‘A’ Women side, but she also becomes the first cricketer from Kerala to hold this captaincy position. Hailing from Wayanad in Northern Kerala, Minnu has already showcased her prowess by claiming five wickets in four matches for India. The India ‘A’ Women will compete against England ‘A’ Women in a series of three matches, scheduled for November 29, December 1, and December 3, all to be held at the iconic Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai.
The recently announced India Women squad for the T20 series against England features Minnu Mani as the captain. The squad includes Kanika Ahuja, Uma Chetry, Shreyanka Patil, G Trisha, Vrinda Dinesh, G Divya, Arushi Goel, Disha Kasat, Rashi Kanojiya, Mannat Kashyap, Anusha Bareddy, Monica Patel, G Kashavee, Jintimani Kalita, and Prakashika Naik. The series promises exciting cricket action as India Women gear up to face their English counterparts on the cricketing stage.
