Interesting to see Shafali Verma in the A squad - isn't she already established in the main team? Maybe this is to give her more match practice before the next international series. The schedule looks packed with all three formats!

So happy to see more multi-day matches for women cricketers! The 4-day game will be crucial for developing test match skills. BCCI should organize more such tours 👏 Only concern - why only one tour in 2025?

Good squad selection overall but I'm surprised not to see Richa Ghosh in any format. She's been performing well in WPL. Hope the selectors have a proper plan for player development.

Excited to see Titas Sadhu getting more opportunities! Her bowling in the Asian Games was brilliant 💪 Hope the girls get good practice wickets in Australia - their pitches are very different from ours.

The fitness clearance part is concerning - we need better injury management in women's cricket. Otherwise, great to see a proper A team structure like the men's side. Future looks bright!
