Shreyanka Patil, Titas Sadhu Named In India A Squad To Tour Australia, Radha Yadav To Lead

NDTV10-07-2025
Off-spinner Shreyanka Patil and pacer Titas Sadhu continued to chart their way back from injuries as they were included in the India A squad on Thursday to tour Australia for a multi-format away series next month. India will play three T20 Internationals, as many ODIs and a four-day match between August 7 and 24. Shreyanka has been absent from on-field action since last year's Women's T20 World Cup in the UAE with an unspecified injury. However, Shreyanka has already been drafted into play in the Women's Caribbean Premier League (WCPL) in September for defending champions Barbados Royals.
Sadhu, on the other hand, missed the tri-series in Sri Lanka, also involving South Africa, in April and did not travel to England for the ongoing white-ball tour as well because of an injury.
While Shreyanka's participation in the series against the Aussies will be subject to her getting clearance from the BCCI Centre of Excellence, Sadhu has obtained the same.
Left-arm spinner Radha Yadav will lead the sides for T20 Internationals, ODIs and the four-day contest.
Opener Shafali Verma too has been named in all the squads.
The hard-hitting opener is having a rather underwhelming tour of England, having made just 101 runs from four matches with a highest of 47.
India T20I squad: Radha Yadav (c), Minnu Mani (vc), Shafali Verma, D. Vrinda, Sajana Sajeevan, Uma Chetry (wk), Raghvi Bist, Shreyanka Patil, Prema Rawat, Nandini Kashyap (wk), Tanuja Kanwer, Joshita VJ, Shabnam Shakeel, Saima Thakor, Titas Sadhu.

Glenn Maxwell lauds Brevis for rising above early AB de Villiers comparison challenges: 'All the Baby AB stuff'

Glenn Maxwell heaps praise on the young South African batter Dewald Brevis for doing all the hard work and overcoming the pressure of being compared to AB de Villiers. Dewald Brevis is creating continuous rumblings in world cricket after scoring a blistering 41-ball century against Australia in the second T20I of the recently concluded three-match series. Nicknamed 'Baby AB' due to his striking resemblance to South African legend AB de Villiers, Brevis is making significant strides in international cricket. So much so that even Australian all-rounder Glenn Maxwell has acknowledged the talent of the 22-year-old. Glenn Maxwell revealed he first noticed Brevis due to the significant impact he made at the 2022 U19 World Cup for South Africa. Maxwell said that comparisons with De Villiers pushed him to the top in the queue for selection in the South African team, but he also had to bear the large expectations due to the same reason. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD 'Brevis has got a lot of talent. It was hard not to see the highlights when he played the U19 World Cup for South Africa", Maxwell told media, as quoted by I_ndian Express_. All the Baby AB stuff. It's a pretty heavy burden he had to have early in his career. He probably got fast-tracked a little bit into the South African side.' . More from First Cricket 'We're going to...': Alyssa Healy warns of spin challenge ahead of Women's World Cup 2025 Maxwell praises Brevis for showcasing perseverance Maxwell hailed Brevis for staying resilient when things didn't initially go his way, putting in the hard work to make a comeback, with the results now evident. 'He's gone away, worked on his game, and he's come back playing beautifully. His bat swing is really pure—he's hard to stop when he gets going,' he added. Riding on the momentum of the century in the 2nd T20I, Brevis scored an emphatic 53 off 26 balls in the 3rd T20I at the Cazalys Stadium, and inspired SA to post a fair total of 172/7 in 20 overs. However, it was the home side that got the last laugh. Glenn Maxwell smashed a flawless 62 off 26 balls to guide the Aussies towards victory. On the back of Maxwell's exceptional knock and Mitchell Marsh's vital 54-run innings, Australia clinched the victory in a thrilling match by two wickets with one ball to spare. With the win, Australia won the series 2-1.
