India Women Tour of England: Squad, Matches, Venues, and Other Details

BCCI has announced the India Women Squad for the England tour, starting on 28 June 2025. The Women in Blue will be up for a total of 8 fixtures against England Women, which comprises of 5 T20Is and 3 ODIs. Harmanpreet Kaur will lead the Indian team in both formats, with Smriti Mandhana selected as the vice-captain.

Among the notable inclusions is the return of Shafali Verma in the national colors. Shafali has been out of the Indian team for some time now, but has made her way back into the T20I side. This will be a crucial tour for India Women, keeping in mind the ICC Women’s World Cup 2026, which will be played on Indian soil later this year.

India Women Squad for England Tour

The India Women squad for England looks strong, although there are a few notable absentees as well. Separate squads have been selected for the T20I and the ODI format. However, there are not many changes in the squads, and most of the players are a part of both. Shafali Verma is the preferred opener in T20Is, while Pratika Rawal keeps her place in the ODI team.

In the absence of Renuka Thakur and Pooja Vastrakar, both of whom are injured, the selectors have given a chance to the inexperienced seamers Sayali Satghare and Kranti Goud for the first time in the T20I squad. Both of them have already made their ODI debuts. Left-arm spinners Shuchi Upadhyay and N Shree Charani, who made their ODI debuts in the recent tri-series in Sri Lanka, are also in the T20I squad.

The core of the India Women Squad for England remains the same, with Harmanpreet Kaur as the skipper and Smriti Mandhana as her deputy. Jemimah Rodrigues, Sneh Rana, and Deepti Sharma further power the batting line-up. England are yet to announce their squad and will be hosting West Indies for three ODIs and as many T20Is before the India series.

IND-W vs ENG-W Schedule

The India Women's Tour to England will begin from 28th June 2025 at Nottingham with the three-match T20I series. The series will conclude on 12th July in Birmingham, where the fifth T20I will be played. The ODI series will begin on 16th July at Southampton on 16th July and will end on 22nd July 2025. The series is likely to be a thrilling one between two of the hard-fought teams in women's cricket. Here is the IND-W vs ENG-W schedule for this series.

Major Player Updates in the Squad

• A few players are missing out on this squad due to injury concerns, including pacer Renuka Thakur, all-rounder Shreyanka Patil, and Kashvee Gautam.
• Four players have received their maiden T20 call-up: right-arm pacer Kranti Goud, pace all-rounder Sayali Satghare, left-arm off-spinner N Shree Charani, and left-arm off-spinner Shuchi Upadhyay.
• Shafali Verma has been named in the T20I squad, but misses out on ODIs. She last played for India in November 2024, and is making a comeback after an impressive WPL season, smashing 304 runs at a strike rate of 152.76

Players to Watch Out For in IND-W VS ENG-W Series

The upcoming IND-W vs ENG-W series will be an enthralling one as the women in blue have got a bunch of potential players who could turn the series in their favour. The Indian women's squad for England has been announced, and the entire core group of the lineup is present in the squad.

Players like Shafali Verma, Smriti Mandhana, Sneh Rana, and captain Harmanpreet Kaur can turn the tide in India’s favour in the T20I series. Sneh Rana was recently awarded the player of the series in the tri-series between India, Sri Lanka, and South Africa women.

Sneh bowled 44.2 overs in the tri-series and took 15 wickets with an economy of 4.73. Deepti Sharma will also be looking to create an impact on the tour, and if these players go on to have a decent tour, then things will most probably end up in India’s favour.
