Indian women’s team to tour Bangladesh for five-match T20I series
The three night games will be played in the main stadium, and the two day games will be held at the outer venue. The night games will start at 6.30pm local time and day games at 2pm.
Teenaged left-arm spinner Radha Yadav was on Friday included in the Indian women’s squad as a replacement for the injured Rajeshwari Gayakwad for the upcoming tri-series at home involving England and Australia.
Rajeshwari — also a left-arm spinner — sustained a webbing injury to her right hand during a fielding session after India’s six-wicket loss to Australia in the opener here on Thursday.
Rajeshwari had earlier replaced another left-arm tweaker Ekta Bisht a couple of days ago after Bisht injured her left index finger during the third ODI against Australia in Vadodara on March 18.
