India's Senior Women's Selection Committee announced the players for the 3-match ODI series. This tour of the Indian women's team will start from December 5.

Shefali Verma out of Team India

For the Australia tour, India has selected almost the same team which was seen playing in the home ODI series against New Zealand. One big change that has been seen has happened in the form of Shefali Verma. This star opener of the Indian women's team has not got a place in the ODI team of Australia tour. The reasons for Shefali's exclusion have not been officially known, but it is believed that her poor performance in the last series could be the reason. Shefali had scored 56 runs in 3 ODIs against New Zealand.

Harleen got a chance after almost a year

Shefali Verma is out of the Australia tour team. But after about a year, Harleen Deol has returned. Harleen played her last ODI for India in December last year against Australia in Mumbai. Harleen, who scored 207 runs in 10 ODIs, can also be seen playing her comeback match against Australia.
