Anna Priscamary
The 15-year-old pacer was not included in the side’s opener, but in her first appearance during the One-Day leg, she recorded impressive figures of 2/17 (6 overs). Anna had a decent run during the T20 leg, and her success in the tournament will be crucial for the team.
K Hashini
The 14-year-old batter has had a notable run in the tournament thus far, scoring 46 runs in 2 innings and also managing to take a wicket. Hashini has shown promise, particularly with her highest score of 32, and now should look to convert her starts into bigger innings.
S K Anritha
