Harmanpreet Kaur, Smriti Mandhana and Mithali Raj will lead Supernovas, Trailblazers and Velocity in the Women's T20 Challenge to be held in the UAE from November 4 to 9. The matches will begin at 7.30 p.m.

Deandra Dottin, Danielle Wyatt, Sune Luus, Chamari Athapaththu, Shakera Selman, PSophie Ecclestone, Salma Khatun, Leigh Kasperek and Jahanara Alam are among the foreigners to be featured in the teams.

But some big names, like Sophie Devine, Suzie Bates, Natalie Sciver, Stafanie Taylor, Amelia Kerr, Lea Tahuhu and Hayley Matthews are missing because they would be playing in the Women's Big Bash in Australia.
