The squad selected for the World Cup will also participate in the three-match T20I series against England, which begins on May 28.

India’s women’s team were fined 10% of their match fee for a slow over-rate in the third ODI against Australia, with captain Harmanpreet Kaur accepting the sanction without a hearing.

Chasing 149, England got off to a bad start as opener Danni Wyatt (3) perished in just the second over bowled by Arundhati Reddy. Soon after, Natalie Sciver (1) was run-out in the third over and England was reduced to 31/2.

India could manage a below-par 221 in the stipulated 50 overs, build largely around Raj's 92-ball 59 and opener Shafali Verma's 55-ball 44.

Goswami didn't give a definitive answer on vice-captain Harmanpreet Kaur's batting position but indicated that a lot of options will be tried out before the World Cup in New Zealand next year.

Ahead of the World Cup in New Zealand early next year, India have got work to do in all departments as pointed out by skipper Mithali Raj herself.

England declared their innings when Shrubsole was bowled by Sneh Rana, who ended up as India's best bowler with a four-wicket haul.

The others in fray were former India wicketkeeper Ajay Ratra and four female candidates including former chief selector Hemlata Kala.

The Indian pacers were rewarded for bowling a probing line as Goswami and Joshi made early breakthroughs.

India lost the first ODI by eight wickets.

CA moved the series to next season as part of the build-up to the ODI World Cup, which will be held in New Zealand in March and April, 2022.
