The rest of the squad remains largely unchanged from the side that exited the Women\u2019s T20 World Cup in the group stage.<\/p>\n<p>Offspin all-rounder Shreyanka Patil has been included subject to fitness clearance after the ankle ligament injury that cut short her World Cup campaign. Leg-spinner Prema Rawat, who replaced Patil at the tournament, has not been retained.<\/p>\n<p>Kamalini, who impressed with Mumbai Indians in the WPL, has played one T20I for India. Bhatia featured in three World Cup matches, scoring 41 runs. India will defend the women\u2019s cricket gold medal won at the 2023 Asian Games, with Bangladesh, Pakistan, Sri Lanka, Japan, Thailand, Malaysia and China also competing.<\/p>\n<p><b>India squad for 2026 Asian Games<\/b><\/p>\n<p>Harmanpreet Kaur (capt), Smriti Mandhana (vice-capt), Shafali Verma, Jemimah Rodrigues, Deepti Sharma, Richa Ghosh (wk), G Kamalini (wk), Bharti Fulmali, Sree Charani, Renuka Singh, Kranti Gaud, Arundhati Reddy, Shreyanka Patil (subject to fitness clearance), Radha Yadav, Nandani Sharma.<\/p>\n<p class=\"publish-time\" id=\"end-of-article\">Published on Jun 30, 2026<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/sportstar.thehindu.com\/cricket\/womens-cricket\/india-asian-games-womens-cricket-squad-kamalini-bhatia\/article71164466.ece\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>India has made one significant change to its squad for the women\u2019s cricket competition at the Asian Games in Aichi-Nagoya, Japan, in September, replacing Yastika Bhatia with 17-year-old wicketkeeper-batter G&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":187765,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_feature_clip_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2},"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false},"categories":[9],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-187764","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-sports"],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/newslink360.space\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/11908_15_3_2025_21_37_40_5_DSC_2358.JPG","jetpack_likes_enabled":true,"jetpack-related-posts":[{"id":185410,"url":"https:\/\/newslink360.space\/?p=185410","url_meta":{"origin":187764,"position":0},"title":"India vs Bangladesh LIVE streaming info, Women\u2019s T20 World Cup 2026: Where to watch IND-W vs BAN-W?","author":"Ajay Kumar Verma","date":"June 25, 2026","format":false,"excerpt":"India enters a must-win fixture against Bangladesh to bolster its hopes of qualifying for the semifinals of the Women\u2019s T20 World Cup 2026 when the sides meet at Old Trafford Cricket Ground in Manchester on Thursday.LIVE STREAMING INFOWhen is the India vs Bangladesh Indies Women\u2019s T20 World Cup 2026 match\u2026","rel":"","context":"In &quot;Sports&quot;","block_context":{"text":"Sports","link":"https:\/\/newslink360.space\/?cat=9"},"img":{"alt_text":"","src":"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/newslink360.space\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/1782375665_GettyImages-2282629984.jpg?resize=350%2C200&ssl=1","width":350,"height":200,"srcset":"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/newslink360.space\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/1782375665_GettyImages-2282629984.jpg?resize=350%2C200&ssl=1 1x, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/newslink360.space\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/1782375665_GettyImages-2282629984.jpg?resize=525%2C300&ssl=1 1.5x, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/newslink360.space\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/1782375665_GettyImages-2282629984.jpg?resize=700%2C400&ssl=1 2x, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/newslink360.space\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/1782375665_GettyImages-2282629984.jpg?resize=1050%2C600&ssl=1 3x"},"classes":[]},{"id":179507,"url":"https:\/\/newslink360.space\/?p=179507","url_meta":{"origin":187764,"position":1},"title":"India Women\u2019s T20 World Cup 2026 Squad Analysis: Concerns linger over lack of pace-bowling all-rounder and lower-order muscle","author":"Ajay Kumar Verma","date":"June 11, 2026","format":false,"excerpt":"Honesty and transparency are two very different ideals.
