Among other changes, Renuka has been declared fit again and has also made a comeback, alongside out-and-out pacer Nandni, who became the first Indian pacer to pick a hat-trick in WPL this year and picked 17 scalps for Delhi Capitals. She also went to the Rising Stars Womens Asia Cup with the India A team in Bangkok. However, seam-bowling all-rounders Amanjot Kaur and Kashvee Gautam, both nursing back and right knee injuries, were not considered for selection. The selectors also opted for a likeforlike swap in the spin department, with uncapped leftarm spinner Vaishnavi Sharma making way for fellow uncapped leftarm spinner N Sree Charani. The one-off game at Lords is a historic one, considering it will be the first-ever womens Test match to be played at the iconic venue. Meanwhile, Uma and Vaishnavi have found places in India A squads for the three one-day games and as many T20 matches against England A, to be played from June 20 to July 4. Northampton and Chelmsford are venues for T20 games, while Hove and Taunton will host the one-day matches. While Anushka Sharma, who recently debuted on the T20I tour of South Africa, and Vrinda Dinesh are captain and vice-captain for the T20 leg of the England trip, Harleen Deol and Pratika Rawal will step into the leadership roles for the 50-over games.
