control board for Cricket In India The BCCI is all set to organize the Women’s Premier League (WPL) for the first time, with the auction for it scheduled to be held in February. This is not only a revolutionary step for women’s cricket, it is also set to be a victory for our upcoming young women cricketers, who have just returned from South Africa after their victorious campaign in the Under-19 Women’s T20 Are. World cup. With so much fine talent on display, it is more likely that some, if not all, will get mouth-watering deals. We take a look at five talents who could make it big.
Shweta Sehrawat (India): Although the Under-19 team featured players like Shafali Verma and Richa Ghosh, it was Sehrawat who became the talk of the rainbow nation. Opening the batting with his senior partner Verma, Sehrawat scored 297 runs at an average of 99 at an impressive strike rate of 139.43. Apart from this, he scored three half-centuries which completed his dream run in the tournament. Earlier she had won the tournament after scoring a brilliant 92 and maintained her form throughout the tournament, however, she took a brief break in the Super Six game and scored an unbeaten 61 in the semi-finals.
Tita Sadhu (India): The youngster from a small town in Bengal turned out to be a destroyer for India, giving the Girls in Blue competitive starts in almost every match. He took six wickets, but his best was probably saved for the big final, where he quickly trounced England, eventually conceding just six runs from his four overs. He was also adjudged player of the match. There is a high possibility that some IPL scouts were watching that performance and with the WPL auctions coming up, he could be among the top picks.
Grace Scrivens (England): The young Brit’s brilliant all-round performance has won many hearts. She became the tournament’s top run-getter for the first time with 295 runs in 7 matches at an average of 41. Then he also scored three fifties in the tournament. The 19-year-old also picked up nine wickets as he led England to the final with six straight wins before losing to India in the final. No wonder he was selected in the team of the tournament but will he get the WPL contract? Need to see it.
Maggie Clark (Australia): Although Australia crashed out of the U-19 World Cup in the semis, the South Australian had by then done his part to make an impact. And initially it happened after their shock defeat to Bangladesh when Australia bounced back against USA. Clarke first took a couple of catches and then was run out from the deep. Australia then put in an impressive performance against Sri Lanka, even though their good form continued. He picked up figures of 2-8 from his four overs. She would eventually become the joint-highest wicket-taker in the tournament with ten wickets, with best figures of 3/15. Quite a performance that definitely won’t go unnoticed.
Parshavi Chopra (India): This self-confessed fan of Shane Warne kept the pressure on throughout the tournament, becoming the leading wicket-taker for India in the U-19 T20 World Cup and second overall. His best performance came in the semi-final against New Zealand where he registered figures of 3-15. Also in the final, she was again on the money as she took two wickets for only 13 runs from her quota of four overs.
Leg-spinners are in high demand in T20 cricket, and Chopra is expected to be picked by a well-informed scout.
