India's Women's squad for the upcoming five-match T20I series against Sri Lanka has been announced, led by Harmanpreet Kaur. This series marks the team's first international engagement since winning the 2025 ODI World Cup and serves as preparation for the 2026 T20 World Cup in England.

The Women's Selection Committee has announced India's squad for the upcoming IDFC First Bank five-match T20I series against Sri Lanka.

The first two T20Is will be held on December 21 and 23 at the ACA-VDCA Cricket Stadium in Visakhapatnam. The final three matches are scheduled for December 26, 28, and 30 at the Greenfield International Stadium in Thiruvananthapuram.

This series marks the beginning of India's preparations for the 2026 ICC Women's T20 World Cup, set to take place in England from June 12 to July 5. India is still chasing its maiden T20 World Cup title, with the 2020 runner-up finish in Australia being their best performance so far.
