Shreyanka, Kashvee in India A squads for England A series

New Delhi, Nov 11 (UNI) Shreyanka Patil is set to return to the India A fold after being named in the squad for the upcoming multi-format series against England A, starting November 30.
The all-rounder, who was part of India's gold medal-winning campaign at the Aichi-Nagoya Asian Games, had missed the subsequent home series against Zimbabwe and the upcoming South Africa tour.
Shreyanka is one of five players selected across all three formats, with Minnu Mani, Shipra Giri, Tanisha Singh and Saima Thakor being the others. Her inclusion offers an opportunity to get back into contention after a prolonged absence from the international setup.
Fast-bowling all-rounder Kashvee Gautam has also returned to the mix, earning selection in the T20 and One-Day squads. Kashvee last featured for India during the T20I series in South Africa in April before a knee injury required surgery. She has since resumed playing for Chandigarh in the ongoing Senior Women's T20 Trophy.
India A will have different captains for the white-ball and red-ball assignments. Anushka Sharma will lead the side in the three T20s and as many One-Day matches, with Minnu Mani named vice-captain. Minnu will take charge for the multi-day game, with Tejal Hasabnis as her deputy.
The tour will open with three T20 matches in Pune. The first game, on November 30, will begin at 1 PM, while the December 3 and 5 fixtures are scheduled for 6 PM starts.
The teams will then move to Mumbai for the One-Day leg, with all three matches set to be played at the Wankhede Stadium on December 8, 11 and 14. The opening match will begin at 9 AM, while the other two are scheduled for evening starts.
The tour will conclude with a multi-day fixture at the same venue from December 19.
