Like several of her colleagues, Deol was brought up on a diet of gully cricket, playing with boys as the women's game grew gradually around her
Born: June 21, 1998
Role: Right-hand bat, offbreaks
Just 21 years of age, Harleen Deol is the latest young batsman to emerge among India’s top order.
Alongside Jemimah Rodrigues, Shafali Verma, Smriti Mandhana and Harmanpreet Kaur, it is a mouth-watering long-term prospect.
Deol, perhaps, has slipped further under the radar than her colleagues, having made her international debut only in February 2019.
And the global game is yet to see her finest work.
Five innings have brought a top score of just 14, while her ability as a part-time spinner has offered another string to her bow.
She has already claimed the wickets of England pair Lauren Winfield and Amy Jones.
