India has also revealed a new-look squad for today’s match.
Shafali Verma has been axed after a lean run of 97 runs in four innings with a high score of 43 at the T20 World Cup in October. Her form didn’t improve in the one-dayers against New Zealand afterward, with scores of 33, 11 and 12 condemning her to the sidelines.
“It’s always a great feeling whenever we play in Australia. It’s a very important series for us … whenever we play, we always look to win. Our team is doing well in ODIs and we just want to continue the same momentum.”
Sophie has returned to play following knee soreness which will continue to be managed over the course of the summer. Darcie has resumed training following a hip muscle strain and is on track for both series.
