As soon as the 3-match ODI series between India and Australia ends, the great war of T20 is going to start. Both the teams will face each other in Canberra from October 29, but even before the start of the series, a big change has been seen in the Australian team. Star leg spinner Adam Zampa has been ruled out of the first T20 due to the birth of a child, and in his place Australia has included young leg spinner of Indian origin Tanvir Sangha in the team.
Who is Tanveer Sangha?
Tanveer Sangha may play for Australia, but his relationship is deeply connected with India. He was born on 26 November 2001 in Sydney, but his parents are from a village in Jalandhar district of Punjab. His father Joga Singh is a taxi driver in Australia, while mother Upjeet Kaur is an accountant. Joga Singh had gone to Australia many years ago in search of a better future, where Tanveer was born and it was from here that his cricket journey began.
Cricket career till now
At the age of just 23, Tanveer Sangha has made his mark in Australian cricket. He made his international debut in 2023.
ODI Career: 2 wickets in 2 matches
T20 career: 10 wickets in 10 matches
First class cricket: 40 wickets in 15 matches
He was Australia’s most successful bowler in the Under-19 World Cup played in 2020. There is such an edge in his spin bowling that it is not easy to read the batsmen. On the basis of this performance, he soon came into limelight in the Big Bash League (BBL) and came into the notice of the national selectors. Due to his excellent performance, he was also included in the 2023 ODI World Cup squad.
