India Women have named their squads for the ODI series and first three T20Is against South Africa, with 15-year-old batter Shafali Verma included in the squad for the shortest format.

India will take on South Africa in five T20Is from 14 September to 4 October, with a squad of 15 named for the first three matches. The playing group includes Verma, who impressed in the Women’s T20 Challenger earlier this year for Velocity; she hit 34 off 31 in a win over Trailblazers that led to high praise from her teammate, England’s Danni Wyatt.

“Shafali is going to be a superstar for India probably in a year or so. I think she'll break into India team,” said Wyatt.

"I wish to retire from T20Is to focus my energies on readying myself for the 2021 Women's @cricketworldcup."

The 20-over squad does not feature Mithali Raj, who announced her retirement from T20I cricket earlier this week. Harmanpreet Kaur will lead the side in their first international assignment since their T20I series against England in March. All of the T20Is will be played in Surat.

Raj remains India’s ODI skipper and will lead the side after the conclusion of the T20I series. All three ODIs will be played in Vadodara from 9-14 October.
