Jemimah Rodrigues expressed excitement about Nandani Sharma's inclusion in India's squad for the women's T20 World Cup 2026, starting on June 12. Nandani, who had a remarkable season in the Women's Premier League (WPL) with 17 wickets, is expected to bring her consistent performance to the national team. Injuries to key players Amanjot Kaur and Kashvee Gautam led to her call-up. Rodrigues, who captained Nandani at the Delhi Capitals in WPL, noted her impressive debut, including a hat-trick and a five-wicket haul in just her second match. India will conduct a training camp at the BCCI Centre of Excellence in Bengaluru starting May 8 before heading to the UK for a three-match T20 series against England beginning May 28. Head coach Amol Muzumdar acknowledged the challenges posed by injuries but remains confident in the team's ability to perform well, recalling their historic 3-2 series victory against England last year. The team is determined to build on their recent success, including their first Women's ODI World Cup win last year.
