Chhattisgarh cricketer Mahak Narwase has secured a place in the India Under-19 Women’s Squad for the upcoming T20 and ODI Series against Sri Lanka, beginning on 22 June.
The talented all-rounder has also been appointed Vice-Captain of the national side. Officials of the Chhattisgarh State Cricket Sangh (CSCS) stated that the Rajnandgaon-born player is the first woman cricketer from Chhattisgarh to be selected for an Indian team participating in an ICC age-group tournament in any format.
Consistent Domestic Performances
The bowling all-rounder has earned her place through impressive performances across age-group and senior domestic cricket. The India U-19 team will begin the T20 series against Sri Lanka on 22 June, followed by the ODI series from 30 June.
Narwase has represented Chhattisgarh in the Under-15, Under-19, Under-23 and Senior Women’s teams over the past few years.
A right-handed batter and right-arm off-spinner, she is currently undergoing training at the National Cricket Academy (NCA), Bengaluru.
The call-up is expected to inspire young cricketers across Chhattisgarh, especially aspiring female players from smaller towns and districts. Narwase will now look to make a strong impression in Indian colours, with cricket fans across her home state closely following her promising journey.
