Australia all-rounder Grace Harris has been included in the squad for the upcoming Women&rsquo;s ODI World Cup, a selection she admitted came as a surprise. Harris last featured in an ODI in March 2024 but has earned a place in the team for the eight-nation tournament, scheduled in India and Sri Lanka from September 30 to November 2.
The Australian squad will travel to India this week for a three-match ODI series against Harmanpreet Kaur&rsquo;s side before beginning their World Cup campaign. Harris, known for her aggressive batting, is expected to strengthen Australia&rsquo;s middle-to-lower order and contribute as a finisher if given the opportunity.
Despite Australia&rsquo;s squad being considered one of the most dominant and balanced in recent years, Harris views this selection as a valuable chance for personal growth. While she travelled to New Zealand for the 2022 edition without playing a game, this time she hopes to make an impact on the field and contribute to Australia&rsquo;s push for another title.
