experienced person Mithali Raj will lead the side with Harmanpreet Kaur as his deputy. The side also includes veterans reminiscence, Jhulan Goswami and Yuva Shafali Verma among others.
However, Rodrigues and all-rounder Shikha Pandey have been dropped due to lack of form. Rodrigues failed to score double digits in all the international assignments she was a part of during the last year. Pandey has also been off colour.
The same 14-man team will also participate in the limited-overs series against New Zealand from February 9 to 24, which includes one T20 International and five ODIs.
