Shreyanka Patil and Priya Mishra are out of India A's Australia tour. Dhara Gujjar and Prema Rawat join the squad for T20s, ODIs, and a multi-day match. All-rounder Shreyanka Patil and spinner Priya Mishra have been ruled out of India A's upcoming tour of Australia. The selectors have added 22-year-old Dhara Gujjar and 23-year-old Prema Rawat across all three formats, alongside wicketkeeper-batter Yastika Bhatia, to the one-day squad. Gujjar was earlier named in the one-day and multi-day squads, while Rawat was only part of the T20 squad. The team will play a multi-format series Down Under comprising three T20s, three 50-over matches, and a four-day red-ball fixture against Australia A. 'As mentioned in the earlier media release dated July 10, their participation was subject to fitness clearance," the BCCI said in a statement.

Shreyanka has been out of action since last year's Women's T20 World Cup in the UAE due to an ankle injury.

Lord's Cricket Ground will make history in 2026 by hosting a women's Test match for the first time, as England take on India in what promises to be a landmark fixture in the women's game.

The global tournament will run from June 12 to July 15 and is expected to draw significant attention to women's cricket on home soil. The England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) announced the full 2026 home schedule for both men's and women's teams on Thursday, highlighting a summer filled with high-profile series and iconic venues. Nat Sciver-Brunt will lead England Women through a busy season featuring white-ball series against New Zealand, India, and Ireland, as well as the historic red-ball Test against India at Lord's. A Milestone for Women's Cricket 'We're really excited to unveil what promises to be a spectacular summer of international cricket in 2026," said ECB Chief Executive Officer Richard Gould. 'With world-class opposition visiting iconic venues across the country, fans will have the chance to witness the very best of the men's and women's game." 'The highlight of the summer will undoubtedly be the ICC Women's T20 World Cup, hosted here in England for the first time since 2009. It's a huge moment for the women's game, for Nat Sciver-Brunt and her team, and it's a fantastic opportunity to inspire the next generation of players and fans. And just after that, we're thrilled that Lord's will also host an England Women's Test match for the first time, marking a really special period for the women's game."

ICC initiative on Afghanistan women: Key engagement opportunities during next 2 global meets
Image credit: ICC Displaced women cricketers from Afghanistan, who were forced to flee their country following the Taliban's return to power, will be provided key engagement opportunities at upcoming global events, the ICC confirmed during its annual conference on Sunday. The players are set to be involved in the ICC Women's Cricket World Cup to be held in India and Sri Lanka later this year, as well as the 2026 Women's T20 World Cup in England. Go Beyond The Boundary with our YouTube channel. SUBSCRIBE NOW! A decision taken at the previous ICC meeting in Harare led to the formation of a high-powered committee comprising representatives from the BCCI , ECB, and CA – the three most financially powerful cricket boards – to support Afghan women cricketers, many of whom have taken refuge in Australia. "In line with ICC's initiative for supporting the displaced women cricketers of Afghan descent, the players will receive key engagement opportunities at ICC events, including the ICC Women's Cricket World Cup 2025 and the T20 World Cup next year in England, as well as through high-performance initiatives and domestic playing opportunities," the ICC stated in a release. "The initiative is being advanced through a collaborative effort led by the ICC under the supervision of Deputy Chair Mr Imran Khwaja, in collaboration with the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI), the England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB), and Cricket Australia (CA)," it further stated. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Free P2,000 GCash eGift UnionBank Credit Card Apply Now Undo India camp hit by more injuries, Playing XI TENSION before Manchester Test vs England Although the ICC release didn't specify the exact nature of the 'engagement opportunities' to be offered during the two World Cups, it is understood that the Afghan women players will have the chance to interact with international cricketers and participate in workshops conducted by elite coaches under the ICC's umbrella. As for 'domestic opportunities,' details remain unclear, particularly since most of these players currently reside in Australia. One possible approach could involve integrating them into the grassroots levels of the sport, giving them a pathway to play grade cricket in the Australian system.

‘ODT' leads in gender balance
Lydia Ko. The Otago Daily Times continues to lead the way in its women's sport coverage. The Sport New Zealand annual media and gender report revealed the newspaper topped the national media organisations in print and online gender balance coverage last year. The ODT's print coverage balance rose to 30.8% in 2024, up 5% from 2023, and online coverage rose to 35.3% in 2024. While all other organisations' visibility reduced from 2023 to 2024, the ODT continued to climb to 31% for overall visibility. Nationally visibility dipped from 24% to 23%. "Notably, the Otago Daily Times has consistently and incrementally increased both gender balance and visibility in all four years of the study," the report said. The newspaper sits second nationally for overall gender balance at 32.6% and third for female bylines at 37%. The study found overall 27% of sports stories focused on women's sport in 2024, a minor increase from 26% in 2023. Coverage naturally peaked during the Olympics, Paralympics — both saw a 3% increase in gender balance compared to Tokyo — and the Women's T20 World Cup. Netball continued to be the top female sport covered, but dropped slightly from 16% to 15%, while football had a big drop from 29% — when the Fifa Women's World Cup was held in New Zealand in 2023 — to 9% last year. Cricket, tennis and golf all had 3% increases in their coverage and rugby union made a 1% increase. Lydia Ko was the most covered female athlete after her gold medal Olympic heroics, followed by Lulu Sunn's Wimbledon run and Lisa Carrington's dominant Paris campaign.
