No major change was made as BCCI on Wednesday announced a 15-member Indian women`s team for the ACC T20 Championship, scheduled to be held in Bangladesh from October 1 to 15. India retained the same squad that played against England in the three-T20 series with Taniyaa Bhatia and Simran Bahadur being put in standby.
Six-time champions India, who will be led by Harmanpreet Kaur, will launch their campaign with a clash against Sri Lanka on the opening day, while they will square off against arch-rivals Pakistan on October 7. The duo was part of the 17-member squad which competed in England but didn`t get any game time. “The All-India Women`s Selection Committee has picked India`s squad for the upcoming ACC Women`s T20 Championship 2022 to be played at Sylhet, Bangladesh from 1st to 15th October,” BCCI secretary Jay Shah said in a release.
A total of seven teams, including hosts Bangladesh, Pakistan, Sri Lanka, Thailand are Malaysia and UAE, will compete in a round robin format with the top-four making it to the semifinal stage.
