Ind vs WI Women 2024 – Arundhati Reddy dropped; Kashyap, Bist, Rawal earn maiden call-ups

Wicketkeeper-batter Kashyap (21) was the leading run-scorer for Uttarakhand and the third-highest overall in the Senior Women’s T20 Trophy this year, with 247 runs in seven innings, including a 117 not out against Pondicherry. Her domestic team-mate Bist (20), made an impression during India A’s one-day series against Australia A in August in Mackay, scoring three consecutive half-centuries, including a match-winning 53 in the third one-dayer. Picked in Team E for the Senior Women’s T20 Challenger Trophy, she smashed a 51-ball 71 in the final against Team A to help her side to the title in November this year.

Rawal (24), meanwhile, first came into the spotlight in 2021 when she hit an unbeaten 155-ball 161 to take Delhi into the knockouts of the domestic one-day competition. Earlier this year, she was part of Delhi’s run to the semi-final of the Under-23 One-Day Trophy, where she finished as the tournament’s second-highest run-scorer with 411 runs in seven innings.

Left-arm spinner Kanwar (26), meanwhile, has played four T20Is for India. She was also part of the India A series against Australia.

The series will begin with all T20Is, all set to take place in Navi Mumbai starting December 15. The teams will then play the ODIs in Vadodara on December 22, 24 and 27 respectively.
