Radha Yadav will lead India A in the multi-format tour of Australia, the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) stated while announcing the squads on Thursday (July 10). The announcement will see the return of Shafali Verma to the one-day format, while Shreyanka Patil and Titas Sadhu are in line for a comeback following their layoffs with injuries.

India A will play three T20s and three one-day matches which will be followed by a four-day match from August 7 to August 24, 2025.

Verma last played an ODI against New Zealand in Ahmedabad, in October 2024, and was dropped since due to a poor run of form which saw her score only 108 runs in six ODIs last year. She returned to the T20I side for the ongoing five-match series against England but hadn't made the cut for the three-match ODI series to follow. The series with the A team would be Verma's chance to push for a spot in the squad for the home ODI World Cup later this year.

Meanwhile, Patil is back in the cricketing fray following a long set of injuries which commenced during last year's Women's Asia Cup. She featured in the subsequent T20 World Cup in the UAE but missed the Women's Premier League (WPL), earlier this year. Patil last played for India in ODIs and T20Is in June 2024 and October 2024 respectively. The spin-bowling allrounder's inclusion is pending to medical clearance from the BCCI Centre of Excellence following a fracture she sustained in the national bowlers' camp in Bengaluru last month. Patil has only been named in the T20 squad.
