The Indian squad for the Women's FIBA 3x3 U18 World Cup 2024, scheduled to take place in Debrecen, Hungary, from Aug. 26 to 30, has been announced, and it’s brimming with talent and potential. Following a challenging stretch that kept them from competing in key continental events, the Indian U18 women’s basketball team is finally set to make a strong comeback on the international stage.
Leading the charge is Aanaya Bhavsar, a rising star from Pune, Maharashtra. Bhavsar has already made a name for herself with her remarkable performances at the 74th Junior National Championship, where she scored 186 points. Known for her scoring ability and strong presence under the basket, Bhavsar is expected to be a key player for India.
Joining her is Komalpreet Kaur from Punjab, a dynamic guard with a lethal three-point shot. Kaur, who was crowned the 3-point champion at the 73rd Junior National 2024 in Bhubaneswar, is not just a shooter but also a playmaker who can change the course of a game with her quick decisions and sharpshooting.
