Who Is Uma Chetry? All About Assam's First National Cricketer

Uma Chetry was part of the India A team, which recently won the Asia Emerging Cricket Tournament.

India women vs Bangladesh women: BCCI recently announced the Indian women's cricket team's ODI and T20 squads for Bangladesh tour this month. India will play three T20Is and as many ODIs on Bangladesh tour. Wicketkeepers Richa Ghosh and Renuka Singh failed to bag a spot for both the series, making way for talented young wicketkeepers Yastika Bhatia and 'uncapped' Uma Chetry. 20-year-old Uma, who belongs to Assam’s Golaghat district, scripted history by becoming the first cricketer from Assam to be named in India's national squad. Uma has been named in both the T20 and ODI teams.

Uma was part of the India A team, which recently won the Asia Emerging Cricket Tournament. In the two matches she played in that tournament, Uma played a key role with the bat and in keeping. Former Assam-born Ranji player and women's team fielding coach Subhadeep Ghosh called Uma a fearless player, also wishing for her bright future.

Congratulating her on the achievement, Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma wrote on Twitter on Monday: "Cricketing in Assam enters a glorious new chapter as we proudly witness our first-ever representation in the Indian Women's National Cricket Team. Congratulations to Uma Chetry for her remarkable achievement, becoming the trailblazer from our state to don the Blue jersey! "We support Uma and the team in their upcoming tour to Bangladesh, wishing them resounding success on the field."
