UAE international Mahika Gaur named in England women’s white-ball squads

Mahika Gaur, the UAE women’s international, has been selected for England's white-ball squads for the ODI and T20I series against Sri Lanka later this month.

Gaur, 17, earned her call-up after a series of good performances this summer, most recently for Manchester Originals in her maiden season of the Women's Hundred.

The left-arm seamer generates good pace and swing from a high release point. She had previously represented UAE in 19 T20Is and caught the eye with her height and hostile bowling.

Gaur has been part of the England A set-up in recent seasons, including warm-up matches against Australia A ahead of the white-ball leg of this year's Women's Ashes.
