Mumbai, March 23 - Teenaged left-arm spinner Radha Yadav was on Friday included in the Indian women's squad as a replacement for the injured Rajeshwari Gayakwad for the upcoming tri-series at home involving England and Australia.

The 17-year-old Radha made her international debut in the recent tour of South Africa, where she played in two T20Is.
The Harmanpreet Kaur-led Indian eves will next face England on Sunday.
