The women’s selection committee of the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) will convene in Mumbai on Saturday (May 2) to select the 15-member India squad for the upcoming ICC Women’s T20 World Cup 2026. The global showpiece will be held in England from June 12 to July 5.
The selection meeting will be followed by a press conference, which will be attended by India skipper Harmanpreet Kaur, committee chairperson Amita Sharma and BCCI secretary Devajit Saikia. The committee will also select the squads for India's three-match T20I series against England, to be played from May 28 to June 2, the one-off Test against England from July 13, and the India A squad for the three one-day and three T20 matches against England A.
India are placed in Group 1 of the T20 World Cup along with the mighty Australia, South Africa, Bangladesh, Netherlands and arch-rivals Pakistan. The Women In Blue recently suffered a dismal 1-4 loss to South Africa in a five-match T20I series, leading to Harmanpreet saying India need to regroup and find a way forward.
"Need to sit together as a group and think how to move forward. Disappointing for us, lots of positives and learnings for us," Harmanpreet said at the post-match presentation of the fifth and final game. "We did well in patches today. In batting, the powerplay was something which cost us. Didn't get too many runs and lost two wickets. It's disappointing, need to keep working hard."
