New Delhi: Seam bowlers Meghna Singh and Renuka Singh Thakur were handed maiden India call-ups, while left-arm spinner Rajeshwari Gayakwad returned as the BCCI on Tuesday announced the women's teams for the upcoming one-off Test and limited over series against Australia.
The Indian team will leave for Australia on August 29 to play three ODIs, a day-night Test and three T20Is, beginning next month.
