India’s Women’s Test, ODI, T20I squads for South Africa tour officially announced, Jemimah Rodrigues returns

India has finalized its touring party for the upcoming December 2026 series in South Africa, which encompasses a single Test match followed by three ODIs and three T20Is. Smriti Mandhana is slated to lead the Test side as captain, with Deepti Sharma serving as her vice-captain.

Jemimah Rodrigues makes her return to the limited-overs setup after recovering from a hamstring injury that sidelined her during recent international fixtures. The squad selection maintains a consistent core of established players, including Harmanpreet Kaur, Shafali Verma, and Richa Ghosh, to navigate the diverse conditions across the multi-format tour.
