India Womens Squad vs Australia 2026: The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has announced the Indian women's team for the upcoming crucial tour of Australia. The tour will feature a series of three T20s and three ODIs between India and Australia. The team will once again be led by the experienced Harmanpreet Kaur.
This tour is a major challenge for the Indian team, as winning in Australian conditions has always been difficult.

The biggest news from this selection is the return of Bharti Fulmali to the T20 team. After a long gap of almost 7 years, Bharti has got the opportunity to wear the blue jersey again.
- WPL 2026 Performance: Bharti scored 92 runs in just 4 innings while playing for Gujarat Giants in the Women's Premier League 2026.
- Strike Rate: Her strike rate of 191.66 was enough to impress the selectors.
Meanwhile, star off-spinner Shreyanka Patil has returned to the team after recovering from injury. Playing for RCB in the WPL 2026, she proved her fitness and form by taking 5 wickets in a single match.
