    Sweta Verma earn call-up, Shikha Pandey dropped for SA series

    Wicket-keeper Sweta Verma and left-handed batsmwoman Yastika Bhatia have earned maiden call-ups to the India women's squad for the impending five-match ODI series against South Africa. The 18-member ODI squad also sees the return of Sushma Verma, who also features in the T20I squad. Meanwhile, all-rounder Shikha Pandey and wicket-keeper Taniya Bhatia have been left out for the two-format series. Here is more.

    The white-ball squad sees several new faces

    Uncapped all-rounder Challuru Prathyusha and left-arm pacer Monica Patel have also been included in both the sides, with fast bowler Mansi Joshi making a return. While Sushma features in both ODI and T20I squad, Nuzhat Parveen has been named as the second wicket-keeper in the T20I side. The likes of Ayushi Soni and Simran Dil Bahadur also claim a spot in the T20I squad.

    Pandey, Bhatia dropped for the series

    All-rounder Pandey, who was India's second-highest wicket-taker with seven scalps at the ICC women's T20 World Cup last year, remains a notable exclusion. She took seven wickets from five games at an impressive average of 19.42 and economy-rate of 6.85. Meanwhile, Bhatia, who has most dismissals by an Indian wicket-keeper in T20Is (67), has also been left out.
