Middle order batsman Harleen Deol is also making a comeback to the Test team, having last made a place in the Test squad in 2023 against England and Australia.

Vaishnavi is another new player in the spin option along with all-rounders Deepti Sharma and Sneh Rana. Renuka Thakur, Kranti Gaur and all-rounder Amanjot are the seam options in the team. At the same time, Saika Ishaq, Rajeshwari Gaikwad, Pooja Vastrakar, Arundhati Reddy, Meghna Singh and Priya Punia, who were all part of the Test team against South Africa, are the players who have not got a place in the team.
