The Indian women's cricket board has named the full squad for the upcoming South Africa tour, with the injured Jemima Rodrigues making a comeback across all formats and Amanjot Kaur earning a spot in the T20 side.

The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) released the squad for the Indian women's team’s tour of South Africa today. The announcement includes a full roster for Tests, One Day Internationals and Twenty20 Internationals. Jemima Rodrigues, who had been sidelined by injury, is back in the lineup for all three formats, signalling her readiness for the series. In addition, Amanjot Kaur has been selected for the T20 squad, giving the young all-rounder a chance to showcase her skills on the international stage. The team will face South Africa in a series of matches across the three formats, with the schedule set to begin in early September.

The inclusion of Rodrigues is seen as a boost for the team’s batting depth, while Kaur’s selection reflects the board’s focus on nurturing emerging talent. The squad will travel to South Africa to compete in a series that will test India’s adaptability to sub‑continental conditions. The BCCI has highlighted that the selection aims to balance experience with fresh talent, ensuring a competitive side for the upcoming fixtures.
