The Story in Brief
The BCCI has named a 15-member women's squad for the Asia Cup 2026, with Harmanpreet Kaur as captain.

The real test is not who is missing but whether the middle order can score under pressure in the Gulf conditions. Numbers from warm-up matches and the first few group games will reveal the true impact.
