MUMBAI, India, CMC – Inexperienced all-rounder Diana David has been named to captain an Indian Board President’s XI against the touring West Indies women later this month.
The 25-year-old David, who was picked in the India side for the international part of the tour, has played just six One-Day Internationals and Twenty20 Internationals since making her debut as a teenager six years ago.

It will be the only game before West Indies take on India in five ODIs and three T20Is.
