Maiden india

England T20Is: Young fast bowler Nandni Sharma described her maiden call‑up to the Indian women’s cricket team for the upcoming T20Is against England and the ICC Women’s T20 World Cup as a ‘dream come true,’ adding that the feeling of making it to the national team finally hit her when she played in the tour game against the ECB Development Women’s XI.

The Chandigarh-based pacer was the joint-highest wicket-taker in her maiden season of the Women's Premier League (WPL) by picking 17 wickets earlier this year for Delhi Capitals, including picking a hat-trick, coming in via a five-wicket haul.

“I called my family first. I spoke to them at home. They asked me why I was crying. Then I told them I had been named in the World Cup squad. It has been like a dream come true. I played a match, and it hit me that I have made it to Team India,” said Nandni in a video posted by BCCI’s social media on Thursday.
