After a break of over four months, the Indian women's cricket team is ready to make their long-awaited comeback. The team last played during the Women's T20 World Cup in February. Excluding their participation in the Women's Premier League (WPL), the players have not been in action since then. They are eager to get back in the game as they prepare for the upcoming series against Bangladesh, starting with the first of three T20Is on Sunday, July 9.

Preparation for Asian Games and squad changes

The tour of Bangladesh holds great significance for the Indian team as it serves as a vital preparation for the Asian Games scheduled for September in Hangzhou, China. In light of this, the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has introduced some significant changes to the squad. Renuka Singh Thakur and Richa Gosh are notable absentees, but there has been no official clarification regarding their absence. Additionally, veteran pacer Shikha Pandey has been left out, providing an opportunity for new players to showcase their talent.
