    Veteran batter Mithali Raj will lead Team India in the 2022 50-over Women's ODI World Cup and the preceding ODI series against New Zealand. Top-order batter Jemimah Rodrigues and pacer Shikha Pandey have been excluded from the squad. India play five ODIs and one-off T20I between February 9 and 24 in NZ before their World Cup campaign gets underway on March 6.

    A look at India's squad

    India squad for New Zealand ODIs and Women's World Cup: Mithali Raj (captain), Harmanpreet Kaur (vice-captain), Smriti Mandhana, Shafali Verma, Yastika Bhatia, Deepti Sharma, Richa Ghosh (wicket-keeper), Sneh Rana, Jhulan Goswami, Pooja Vastrakar, Meghna Singh, Renuka Singh Thakur, Taniya Bhatia (wicket-keeper), Rajeshwari Gayakwad, Poonam Yadav. Standby Players: Sabbhineni Meghana, Ekta Bisht, Simran Dil Bahadur.

    Rodrigues, Pandey snubbed from WC team

    The Indian selectors have overlooked senior players, Jemimah Rodrigues and Shikha Pandey. Jemimah has been going through a lean patch for quite some time and has been struggling to score runs during the country's recent tours. She scored 22 runs in five games during the home series against South Africa and on the England tour. Pandey picked two wickets in three ODIs in 2021.

    Sneh Rana has been retained

    Sneh Rana has retained her spot in India's squad. She returned to India set-up earlier this year during their tour of England. She scored an unbeaten 80 runs during the second innings of the one-off Test against England and picked 4/131. She picked two wickets in ODIs. India have also named two young pacers, Meghna Singh and Renuka Singh in their squad.
