India became the first side to sail through to the knockout stages after securing wins against hosts and defending champions Australia, as well as Bangladesh and New Zealand.
India's unpredictable middle-order has repeatedly squandered good starts to eventually settle for low scores in this year's Women's World T20.
Top Indian women players such as Harmanpreet Kaur and Smriti Mandhana have earlier played in England's T20 Kia Super League.
India have failed to reach the final in any of the six previous editions of the Women's World T20 but have reached the semi-finals thrice.
Harmanpreet Kaur said they are eagerly waiting to face four-time champions and title holders Australia in the tournament opener on Friday.
India will begin their campaign in the women's T20 World Cup against Australia on February 21.
WV Raman said that the Indian women's team led by Harmanpreet Kaur is one of the favourites to win the 2020 Women's World T20 in Australia.
India skipper Harmanpreet Kaur said that the team has evolved in the last two years and they can win the women's World T20 in Australia.
Harmanpreet Kaur remained unbeaten on 42 as India women registered a five-wicket win over England in the first game of the tri-series.
She was speaking to reporters at the pre-departure press conference ahead of the tri-series involving England and hosts Australia, which will be followed by the T20 World Cup next month.
Poonam Yadav was also named in the top bracket while Mithali Raj and Jhulan Goswami were in Grade 'B' in BCCI's annual player contracts for women.
Richa has been rewarded for her exploits in the recent women's Challenger Trophy, scoring 36 off 26 balls in one of the games with four boundaries and a six.
Rohit Sharma became the second Indian after Harmanpreet Kaur to play 100 T20Is for India on Thursday.
India's Harmanpreet Kaur took an incredible catch in the women's ODI against West Indies.
On Sunday, Rodrigues uploaded a small video on her Twitter handle in which she, alongside Deol, can be seen singing a rap song for their T20I skipper.
Harmanpreet Kaur is among 10 female players who have reached the three-figure mark in terms of appearances.
The team is currently taking part in a five-match T20 series against South Africa here. India won the first rubber while the second was washed out.
The WBBL is likely to clash with India's tour of the West Indies, leaving the players with a very limited window towards the end of what will be the fifth season of the WBBL.
The bowlers, led by player of the match Deepti Sharma (3/8), produced an impressive show to dismiss South Africa for 119 in their chase of 131.
The 21-year-old Deepti Sharma holds the second position in the ICC WODI all-rounder rankings.
