India play a five-game series and a T20I match against the New Zealand host starting on February 11, before the March-April ODI World Cup.

The team’s management wanted a week-long training camp before the departure, but could not be organized across the country due to the increase in COVID-19 cases.

India reached the finals of the 2017 edition, giving a big boost to the country’s women’s cricket. The team led by Mithali Raj is expected to go all the way this time.

Well-known names like Shikha Pandey, Jemimah Rodrigues and Punam Raut were removed from the World Cup squad, causing controversy.
