Allrounders Sneh Rana and Pooja Vastrakar, who have not played since the T20 World Cup in October of last year, have kept their contenders for Grade C.

Yastika Bhatia also retains her fitness in the past year.
Harleen Deol and Pratika Rawal strikers, and Legspinner Priya Mishra are among the notable absent. Harleen returned from a long launch of injuries to break his first international century at the ODI home against the Antilles in January, while Rawal took a good start to an international career.
