ICC Womens World Cup 2025

The squad includes 20-year-old Eyman Fatima who recently made her international debut for Pakistan in T20Is

Off-spinner Nishita Akter Nishi and top-order batter Sumaiya Akter have also been named in the final squad

The week-long camp will focus on skills, with Vizag chosen strategically as India face both South Africa and Australia there in the World Cup

The bigger concern, according to the national skipper, is that the team would not have played any international fixtures in the six months leading up to the megaevent in India and Sri Lanka

DY Patil Stadium will host five fixtures including the second semifinal and the final, unless Pakistan make it to the summit clash

Sarah Glenn and Danni Wyatt-Hodge, who weren't a part of the ODI squad against India, have also been recalled to the side

In a squad selection underpinned by pragmatism, the selectors resisted the temptation to recall Shafali Verma

Renuka Thakur makes the cut despite her recent injury struggles

A formal ICC announcement on the switch is expected soon as the KSCA failed to secure permissions before the extended deadline, which expired on Monday

The city is scheduled to host four fixtures, including the tournament opener between India and Sri Lanka, but the KSCA is still awaiting clearance from the state government
