Indian women’s speedster, Jhulan Goswami appears set for her international return after being named in the India squad for the tri-nation T20I series involving Australia and England. The selectors chose to leave out left-arm spinner Rajeshwari Gayakwad while bringing Ekta Bisht back into the squad. Gayakwad had picked up four wickets in the three T20Is against South Africa. Bisht, who is left-arm spinner, played only one game during the South Africa tour - the third ODI in which she finished with figures of 1 for 38.

The T20I series gets underway at the Brabourne stadium in Mumbai from March 22, with the hosts taking on Australia in the first game. India, Australia and England will play against each other twice before the final on March 31. The selectors also announced the India A squad for the two warm-up T20 games against England on March 18 and 19 in Mumbai. S Meghna will lead the squad which also features Radha Yadav, another exclusion from the India squad that played the T20Is against South Africa.
