Shreyanka Patil named in India A squads for England A series

Shreyanka Patil, an all-rounder, has been included in the India A team for the upcoming all-format series against England A, which begins on November 30 in Pune and Mumbai. Shreyanka is one of five players who will be in the squads for each of the three formats, along with Minnu Mani, Shipra Giri, Tanisha Singh, and Saima Thakor. She last played in an international match when India won the Asian Games before being overlooked for the home series against Zimbabwe and the upcoming tour of South Africa.

Kashvee Gautam, an all-round fast bowler, has also been selected for the white-ball squads. A knee injury necessitated surgery for Kashvee, whose most recent appearance was in India's T20I tour of South Africa in April. She made her comeback for Chandigarh in the current Senior Women's T20 Trophy.

In the three T20 and One-Day matches, India A will be led by batter Anushka Sharma, with Minnu serving as her deputy. Tejal Hasabnis will serve as vice-captain of the team in the red ball game, reporting to Minnu as captain.

The series begins on November 30 with the T20 leg being played in Pune. While the first game will be played at 1 PM, the second and third T20 on December 3 and 5 will be marked by a 6 PM start. The three One-Day matches will be played at Mumbai's Wankhede Stadium on December 8, 11, and 14, with the first day game starting at 9 AM. The Wankhede Stadium will also host the Multi-Day fixture from December 19.
