Cricketer Uma Chetry became the first from Assam to get selected for the senior national team when she was named for the teams for the upcoming Bangladesh tour. Hailing from Bokakhat in Assam, Uma Chetry is a talented wicket-keeper batter who has been making waves with her performances.The announcement came as she was named in the squad for the upcoming
tour of Bangladesh, where India will compete in both T20 and ODI
matches. In the limited opportunities she got, Uma displayed her skills both
with the bat and behind the stumps, playing a crucial role in the team’s
success. Having closely observed Uma’s progress, former Assam Ranji player and
women’s team fielding coach Subhadeep Ghosh described her as a
“fearless cricketer.”While Assam has produced several cricketers who represented India in various age group tournaments or as part of the A teams, Uma Chetry’s selection marks a historic milestone.
