India Women’s National Cricket Team vs Australia Women’s National Cricket Team Match: India have announced their squads for the upcoming T20I and ODI series against Australia. Harmanpreet Kaur will lead the team in both formats as the reigning world champions aim to register their first-ever white-ball series win against Australia.
