( MENAFN - IANS) New Delhi, June 1 (IANS) Jemimah Rodrigues, Sajana Sajeevan, and Priya Punia are amongst the notable names included in the Board President XI squad for the tour game against South Africa, to be played in Bengaluru on June 13. On Friday, Jemimah was included in India's Test and white-ball teams for the upcoming home series against South Africa, but her selection is subject to fitness. The right-handed player had missed the five-match T20I series in Bangladesh in April-May due to a back injury, for which she was doing rehab at the National cricket Academy (NCA) in Bengaluru.
All-rounder Sajana retained her place in the T20I team following her debut on the Bangladesh tour, while top-order batter Priya, who last played for India in July 2023, earned a call-up to the Test side. Uncapped wicketkeeper-batter Uma Chetry, a member of the Indian team winning the Asian Games gold medal last year, who was also included in all three squads for South Africa, also gets a place in the Board President XI, with Uttar Pradesh wicketkeeper-batter Shipra Giri included as a backup to her. Other known players drafted in the Board President XI squad include India off-spin all-rounder Minnu Mani, left-handed batting all-rounder Shubha Satheesh, and hard-hitting batter Kiran Navgire.
Members of India's 2023 U19 World Cup-winning team Shweta Sehrawat, Shabnam Shakil, and Mannat Kashyap, who made her senior ODI debut against Australia in January this year, are included too. WPL and dome.
