Some of the names that will feature in the tournament will be India's international cricketers, Shafali Verma and Richa Ghosh. Verma and Ghosh, with their rich experience for the senior team in marquee competitions, will help India clinch their maiden ICC title on January 29 in Potchefstroom.
The 16 playing nations will compete against each other in four groups. Group A includes Australia, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka and America. Group B includes England, Pakistan, Zimbabwe and Rwanda. Ireland, Indonesia, West Indies and New Zealand are in Group C. Finally, Group D consists of India, South Africa, United Arab Emirates and Scotland.
