Command is in the hands of Harmanpreet
After the Indian team's exit from the group stage in the T20 World Cup 2024, there was speculation that the captaincy of the team could be taken away from Harmanpreet Kaur. However, Harmanpreet remains as the captain. Richa Ghosh has not been given a place in the team. Actually, Richa will give her 12th class papers and that is why she has not been given a chance in the team. Asha Shobhana has also not been included in the team due to injury. At the same time, due to injury, Pooja Vastrakar has also been given rest for this series.
