New Delhi | Jagran Sports Desk: The Board of Control for Cricket in India has announced Harmanpreet Kaur-led 15-member squad for Women's T20 World Cup. Bengal's rookie batswoman Richa Ghosh was the only new face in a 15-member for the ICC Women's T20 World Cup in Australia, starting February 21. Richa has been rewarded for her exploits in the recent women's Challenger Trophy. The squad has no other surprises and 15-year-old Haryana schoolgirl Shafali Verma will also be playing her first global meet following some good performances at the international level in her first season.
