After missing out on a place in the victorious Indian squad two years ago, power-hitter Niki Prasad will lead a strong Indian side that won the U-19 Asia Cup in Kuala Lumpur last December.
The current squad also features G Trisha, Shabnam Shakil and Sonam Yadav from the World Cup-winning team. India defeated England by seven wickets in the Potchefstroom final of the inaugural Under-19 Women's T20 World Cup. The West Indies failed to reach the knock-outs.
"It is a great honour to be nominated for the FIH Player of the Year Award again," the Indian defender stated in a Hockey India release.
After the Windies match, India will play Malaysia on January 21 and Sri Lanka on January 23.

The second edition of the age-group World Cup kicked off on Saturday, with as many as 12 teams taking the field at different venues, but only three teams tasted victories.
While Group B matches at Johor Bahru, England vs Ireland and Pakistan vs United States of America, were abandoned due to rain, minnows in Group C Samoa and Nigeria also shared the spoils in Sarawak after a no result. The second Group C match at the same venue, however, got a result as South Africa beat New Zealand by 22 runs.
In Bangi, Bangladesh thrashed undisciplined Nepal by five wickets. The Group D fixture witnessed six run outs, including five in the Nepali innings. Before that chaotic match, heavyweights Australia hardly broke a sweat in dispatching Scotland by nine wickets.
Three top teams from each group will progress to the Super Sixes. The group winners and runners-up of two Super Sixes will then play the semi-finals on January 31. The final is scheduled for February 2.
