Australia's U19 women's cricket team, set to compete against New Zealand and Sri Lanka in a tri-series starting next month, features three players of Indian descent: Ribya Syan, Samara Dulvin, and Hasrat Gill.

On Thursday, Cricket Australia (CA) revealed the squad for the upcoming Women's Under-19 Tri-series, which will take place from September 19 in Brisbane. The Youth Selection Panel has finalised 15-player rosters for both the T20 and 50-over formats for the event, taking place in Brisbane and Gold Coast, with former Australian player Kristen Beams appointed as head coach. The tri-series spans 14 days, during which Australia will play four T20 matches and two One-Day games.

The inclusion of Ribya Syan, Samara Dulvin, and Hasrat Gill highlights the increasing diversity in Australian cricket and recognises the valuable contributions of players with Indian heritage, according to CA's statement.
