Mumbai, Oct 17

After the setback in the Women's T20 World Cup, India have fielded seam bowling all-rounders Sayali Satghare and Saima Thakor, legspinner Priya Mishra and middle-order batsman Tejal Hasabnis for the first time in the ODI for the upcoming three-match ODI series called up against New Zealand from October 24th.

Harmanpreet Kaur-led India failed to secure a place in the semi-finals of the T20 Summit after losing by nine runs to defending champions Australia. After the debacle in the UAE, the women's selection committee has brought in new faces to the national set-up, with four players who were part of India A's multi-format tour of Australia in August being called up for the first time.

Saima was a traveling reserve for the T20 World Cup while Priya was named as a non-traveling reserve for the tournament.

Harmanpreet will continue to lead the side, Smriti Mandhana will continue to be her deputy while Richa Ghosh was not available for selection due to her 12th standard exam.

BCCI has informed that Asha Sobhana is currently nursing an injury and was not available for selection while Pooja Vastrakar has been sidelined from the series.

Apart from Sajana Sajeevan, India have retained the majority of the T20 World Cup squad. However, Sajeevan's absence from the 16-member squad was not mentioned in the BCCI's release. She played in two matches against Pakistan and Sri Lanka before being eliminated for the final group stage match against Australia. In his only opportunity to bat, he scored four goals against Pakistan.
