Mahika Gaur, the Dubai-raised fast bowler, has been named in England’s A squad to face Australia A on Wednesday. The 17-year-old left-armer has played 19 matches for the UAE senior women’s team.

The former Dubai College pupil was born in Reading in the UK and attends school in Lancashire on a sports scholarship. She has dovetailed her studies this summer with playing for the Thunder, the Manchester-based team who play in the UK’s leading domestic T20 competition.

She was initially recruited to that team after impressing their coaches and senior players at a masterclass coaching session at Expo 2020 in Dubai.

If she is selected to play against Australia A in the fixture in Loughborough, it would not affect her eligibility for UAE selection.
