• The BCCI ruled out all-rounder Shreyanka Patil and leg-spinner Priya Mishra from the August 7–24 tour of Australia after they failed to obtain fitness clearance.
• Both players remain under the BCCI Medical Team’s return-to-play protocols at the Centre of Excellence, extending their rehabilitation timelines.
• To fill the vacancies, the Women’s Selection Committee added Dhara Gujjar and Prema Rawat across the T20, one-day and red-ball squads, with Yastika Bhatia joining the ODI roster.
• India A will contest a multi-format series Down Under, featuring three T20 internationals in Mackay, three one-day matches at Norths and a four-day fixture at Allan Border Field.
