Mithali, who has been leading the national women's side since 2005, had to briefly play under veteran Anjum Chopra and Jhulan Goswami but has led India for most part of her career.
A veteran of 150 ODIs and 46 T20s, Mithali, 31, has been India's most dependable middle-order batswoman for quite some time.
The Women's Selection Committee met here to announce the 15-member squads for the ODIs and T20, which have more or less the same set of players barring a few changes.

Mithali Raj (Captain), Jhulan Goswami, Punam Raut, Smriti Mandhana, Harmanpreet Kaur, M.D. Thirushkamini, Vanitha V.R., Rajeshwari Gaekwad, Ekta Bisht, Sushma Verma, Poonam Yadav, Sneh Rana, Swagathika Rath, Shubhlakshmi Sharma, Dipti Sharma.
T20 Squad:
