Important changes and shocking decisions
This time Harleen Deol did not find a place in the contract list. Last time she was in grade C, but for the last two years her place has not been made in the T20 team. However, he played the last ODI against Ireland in January this year.
On the other hand, Shefali Verma performed brilliantly in the Women’s Premier League (WPL) 2025 and retained her place. He scored 368 runs in seven matches in this league at an average of 73.60 and a strike rate of 102.50, including two centuries.
