Chandigarh, Feb. 15 -- Wearing the tag of ODI World Cup champions and eyes set on clinching their first T20 World Cup in three months, the Indian women's cricket team is gearing up for a challenging multi-format series in Australia. The tour from February 15 to March 9 will feature three T20Is and ODIs each and a day-night Test. The campaign begins with the T20I in Sydney on Sunday. Although India recently swept Sri Lanka 5-0 in a home T20I series following their World Cup success in November, the Harmanpreet Kaur-led side faces a far sterner test against Australia. The series will serve as a platform to assess the emerging and returning players, including Bharti Fulmali, who is making a comeback after nearly six years, young spinner Vaishnavi Sharma, all-rounder Kashvee Gautam, and medium-pacer Sayali Satghare, a member of Royal Challengers Bangalore's WPL-winning squad who is also in the Test team. Spinner Shreyanka Patil returns to the T20I side after a two-year absence. India will rely on in-form players such as Shafali Verma and Jemimah Rodrigues while Smriti Mandhana remains a key figure at the top. Australia are in a transition phase with Sophie Molineux leading the T20I side in the build-up towards the World Cup. Alyssa Healy will play in her farewell series in the ODIs and Test, marking the end of an illustrious chapter. Australia and India last faced each other in a T20I in the group stage of the 2024 T20 World Cup, where the Aussies beat India by nine runs....
