Andhra Pradesh cricketer N. Sree Charani has been selected for the Indian national cricket team, with the prospect of competing at a venue within her home state. Her performance, described as good in 2022, experienced a “sudden spike” in 2023, drawing the attention of national selectors.
Charani’s athletic background includes participation in various sports such as Kho-Kho and Kabaddi before focusing on cricket, where she was inspired by her uncle, who instructed her in pace bowling. Srinivas Reddy, the current head coach of the Andhra Cricket Association’s senior women’s set-up and Charani’s former age-group coach, highlighted her notable pace and high-arm release as key attributes that could challenge opponents.
