Australian women’s cricket team to tour Dubai
Melbourne: Cricket Australia’s (CA) Women’s National Selection Panel (WNSP) on Tuesday announced its squad for the tour of Dubai from March 30 to April 13.
The team will play four 50-overs and two Twenty20 matches against England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) Academy. Julia Price has been appointed head coach for Australia with Cathryn Fitzpatrick as her assistant.
The squad will be based in Dubai and all matches will be played at the International Cricket Council (ICC) Academy.
“These tours are a tremendous learning experience for the young players in our system, providing experience of overseas conditions as well as an intensive playing and training programme in a touring environment,” chair of selectors Julie Savage said.
“It is important to expose our players to differing playing conditions around the world to ensure that we are prepared for events such as the 2016 ICC Women’s World Twenty20 in India as well as tours to these regions in the future.”
The squad: Megan Banting, Jemma Barsby, Samantha Bates, Nicola Carey, Piepa Cleary, Lauren Cheatle, Ashleigh Gardner, Grace Harris, Nicola Hancock, Delissa Kimmince, Katie Mack, Beth Mooney, Elyse Villani, Amanda-Jade Wellington.
The left-handed batsman from Haryana is garnering praise from all quarters for the way he’s finishing games regularly in the most exciting IPL season.
Gavaskar reckons Tewatia’s whirlwind knock in Sharjah (in IPL 2020) where he smashed West Indies pacer Sheldon Cottrell for five sixes in an over, gave him the confidence that he belongs to the big stage.
Speaking on Cricket Live on Star Sports, Gavaskar said, “That assault on Sheldon Cottrell in Sharjah gave him the belief to do the impossible and the confidence that he belongs here. We saw the impossible (he did with the bat) the other day as well. There’s no twitching or touching the pads (which shows a batter’s nervousness) when he bats in the death overs. He just waits for the ball to be delivered and plays his shots. He’s got all the shots in the book, but most importantly his temperament to stay cool in a crisis is brilliant.”
Gavaskar has also nicknamed the 28-year-old cricketer the ‘ice-man’ and lauded Tewatia’s ability to remain unruffled during the tense moments.
