Following the first of the five T20I series to be held in Bangladesh in March, Bhatia sustained a grade 1 tear of PCL in her left knee and has been at the NCA ever since. Patil, on the other hand, broke her left hand during India's 2024 Asia Cup first match against Pakistan in July.

The team will also play two of intra-squad games, both of which are anticipated to be played under lights, as part of their World Cup preparation. The 2020 World Cup runners-up, except for their Group A match against Pakistan on October 7 in Dubai, are scheduled to play three of their four games under the lights.

The players will visit their home for a short four-day break after the camp before reassembling in Mumbai to depart for UAE on September 24.
