On Sunday, the BCCI announced the squads of the Women’s T20 challenge 2020 scheduled to take place next month. The BCCI named the captains as Harmanpreet Kaur, Smriti Mandhana, and Mithali Raj for Supernovas, Trailblazers, and Velocity squads respectively. The three teams will take part in the short tournament from the 4th to 9th of November in the United Arab Emirates.

The top cricketers from the Indian women’s team will join forces with their counterparts from England, South Africa, Sri Lanka, Bangladesh, West Indies, and New Zealand in a four-match competition. The Australian players have been an exception since the dates of Women’s Big Bash League clash with that of the Women’s T20 Challenge. The Women’s BBL will commence from the 25th of October and continue until the 29th of next month.

The Thailand batter, Natthakan Chantham, who mustered her first women’s T20 World Cup half-century, also earned a selection. She will become the first Thai cricketer to feature in the tournament. The BCCI has asked the Indian cricketers to assemble in Mumbai by the 13th of October. The players will quarantine themselves for six days in Mumbai followed by as many days after reaching the UAE.
