Canberra, Aug 22: Cricket Australia has named three Indian-origin girls in its squad for the upcoming Women’s Under-19 Tri-series, also involving u-10 teams of New Zealand and Sri Lanka and set to take place from September 19 in Brisbane. Ribya Syan, Samara Dulvin and Hasrat Gill are the three girls who trace their roots to India and are hoping to excel and make a name for themselves.
