ICC Women’s World T20: 5 youngsters to watch out for

Special Mention

Jemimah Rodrigues is an exciting prospect for Indian cricket

Laura Wolvaardt, the 19-year-old South African opener, is a promising talent. She averages around 46 in ODIs and 22 in T20Is. Captain Dane van Niekerk would love Wolvaardt to extend her rich vein of form into the tournament. She is among the most brightest talents in the world cricket.

Apart from the included players, there are several more who have definitely shown the spark to set the tournament on fire. Jemmiah Rodrigues, the 18-year-old young Indian sensation, has marked her entry into the world cricket with a bang. She has 336 runs in 10 innings, scored at a strike rate of 137. She has been knocking on the door for a while now.

Deepti Sharma, the Jagmohan Dalmiya Award winner for the best domestic Senior Women's Cricketer in 2018, is undoubtedly one of the finest additions to the Indian squad. If these youngsters play their part well, Indian women will be a force to reckon with in the upcoming World T20.
