India received a major boost ahead of the World Cup with Smriti Mandhana returning after a long injury layoff. Mandhana hasn’t played a competitive match since tearing a ligament in her knee while playing for Brisbane Heat in WBBL|02. She is the only change from the squad currently playing in a quadrangular series in South Africa, with allrounder Devika Vaidya missing out on a spot in the final 15 after picking up an injury during a practice match.

New Zealand also regain star allrounder Sophie Devine, who suffered a broken thumb earlier this year.
