New Delhi: Cricket Australia has picked three Indian-origin players – Hasrat Gill, Samara Dulvin and Ribya Syan – in their 15-member U-19 women’s squad for a tri-series consisting New Zealand U-19 and Sri Lanka U-19 which starts September 19 in Brisbane. Former Australian cricketer Kristen Beams has been appointed as the head coach of the side. In the tri-series, all teams will play four T20s and two one-day matches.
The three promising talents of Indian origin reflect the growing diversity within Australian cricket and it will also show the significant contributions of players with Indian heritage, Cricket Australia informed in a release. Dulvin is a right-handed batter who has played for the Australia U-19 against England U-19 earlier while Syan is a right-arm fast-bowling all-rounder hailing from Victoria. Gill is a bowler too who has represented Australia in U-19 matches against England and Sri Lanka.
Gill played a vital role against England in a T20 earlier in March and took four wickets in Hambantota, Sri Lanka. With her phenomenal performance, she can be a good asset for the U-19 Women’s Australia Cricket Team.
