Australia A pick Vlaeminck and Brown for India trip

Fast bowlers Tayla Vlaeminck and Darcie Brown will spearhead Australia A Women's multi-format tour of India starting in September 2026. Vlaeminck's Long-Awaited Comeback: The 27-year-old speedster is making her return to top-flight cricket after a recurring shoulder injury suffered during the 2024 T20 World Cup kept her out of international and domestic action. Brown's White-Ball Return: Darcie Brown returns to the lineup after missing out on Australia's T20 World Cup squad in England. Both Brown and Vlaeminck are named for the white-ball leg (T20s and ODIs) but will sit out the four-day match.

But the pair won't play in the four-day game in Dharamshala. "It's great to have Tayla back in the green and gold and to have Darcie back in action," National selector Shawn Flegler said. "Both bring invaluable international experience to the group, and having them alongside some of our younger players provides a great opportunity for those emerging cricketers to learn from two world-class fast bowlers while continuing their own development."
