IDFC First Bank T20I: The national selection committee has named a full-fledged women's squad for the T20Is against England starting next week and the one-off Tests against England and Australia following that as top stars return to action for two home series.

Test cricket will feature for the first time in India women's home season since 2014. The Indian team has played only two Tests since, both away fixtures, against England and Australia in 2021. The side performed well in both games and managed to walk away with honours even.

"The Women’s Selection Committee has selected the Team India (Senior Women) squad for the upcoming IDFC First Bank T20I series against England, as well as for the two Tests against England and Australia. The squad for the white-ball series against Australia will be picked later," the BCCI informed in a release on Friday.
