Three players from the Indian team heading to Malaysia—Gongadi Trisha, Shabnam Shakil, and Sonam Yadav—were part of the squad that won the inaugural Women’s U19 World Cup against England in 2023.
Trisha had a standout performance in the recent Women’s U19 Asia Cup, where she shone in the final against Bangladesh. She not only led her team to victory but also earned the title of Player of the Match and finished as the tournament’s top run-scorer.
In addition to Trisha, keep an eye on captain Niki Prasad, opener G Kamalini, and bowler Aayushi Shukla, who was the top wicket-taker in the 2024 Asia Cup with 10 wickets. This group is packed with talent and potential!
