The BCCI on Saturday announced the squads for the five-match ODI and three-match T20I series against South Africa at home starting next week. The Indian women's cricket after delays and postponements of several tours, will finally get back on to the field after almost a gap of one year. A BCCI release said, "The All-India Women’s Selection Committee has picked the squads for India Women’s upcoming Paytm ODI and T20I series against South Africa Women. The series will comprise 5 ODIs and 3 T20Is and will be played at Lucknow’s Bharat Ratna Shree Atal Bihari Vajpayee Ekana International Stadium." Wicket-keeper Sushma Verma returns in both the squads, while Mithali Raj will be leading the side in the ODIs and Harmanpreet will be leading the team in the shortest format of the game.
