Harmanpreet Kaur to Captain Indian Squad in T20 Asia Cup

The Women’s T20 Asia Cup will take place in Sri Lanka starting on July 19. Harmanpreet Kaur, who is presently leading a 15-member Indian team in the upcoming T20I series against South Africa in Chennai, will serve as captain.

The vice-captain is none other than the dashing opener Smriti Mandhana, who has performed admirably during the rubber against SA. In the first of the three-match series, India was defeated by 12 runs, and they will now play the visitors in the second game on Sunday.

Shweta Sehrawat, Saika Ishaque, Tanuja Kanwer, and Meghna Singh have been included as traveling reserves in addition to the 15 players in the starting lineup.

India has been clubbed in Group A of the tournament, along with arch-rival Pakistan (July 19), UAE (July 21) and Nepal (July 23).
All the matches will be played at the Rangiri Dambulla International Stadium. India are the defending champions, and have won the competition a record seven times.
