Shikha made her final appearance for India in October 2021
Shikha Pandey, an experienced pacer, unexpectedly rejoined India’s 15-person team on Wednesday for the Women’s T20 World Cup in South Africa. Before being controversially dismissed from the team in October 2021, Shikha made her final appearance for India. Her inclusion highlights the lack of depth in the department of pace bowling. The 33-year-old, whose ball-swinging ability is his strongest suit, has played in three Tests, 55 ODIs, and 56 T20 matches. Despite her underwhelming performance in India’s 1-4 series loss to the powerful Australia, Jemimah Rodrigues has been able to keep her spot on the team.
