Shafali Verma, Shweta Sehrawat, Parshavi Chopra in ICC U19 Women's T20 World Cup team of tournament

Three Indian cricketers, including newly crowned World Cup captain Shafali Verma, opening partner Shweta Sehrawat, and talented leg-spinner Parshavi Chopra, were named in the ICC U-19 Women's T20 World Cup team on Monday.

Shafali led a group of talented youngsters to the inaugural U-19 T20 World Cup title on Sunday, as India recorded their first-ever ICC triumph in women's cricket with a seven-wicket thrashing of England in the final.

The brisk opener was destructive with the bat and also demonstrated tactical savvy as captain. Her 34-ball 78 against UAE was a power-hitting display, with 12 fours and four sixes smashed on all parts of the ground. With 172 runs, she was the third-highest run-getter.

The captain also contributed with useful overs, taking four wickets in seven games at an economy rate of



5.04.

Sehrawat, the other opener, towered over her seniors Shafali and Richa Ghosh, finishing as the tournament's highest run-scorer with 297 runs at an average of 99 and a strike rate of 139.43.

Parshavi took only two wickets in India's first three games, but then exploded, finishing as the second-highest wicket-taker with 11 wickets in six games.

The leggie was all over Sri Lanka in the final Super Six game, returning figures of 4/5. She followed that up with a 3/20 in the decider against New Zealand and a 2/13 in the final.

Led by England's Grace Scrivens, the team also comprises two more English woman in Hannah Baker and Ellie Anderson, New Zealand's Georgia Plimmer, Sri Lanka's Dewmi Vihanga, Bangladesh's Shorna Akter, South Africa's Karabo Meso, Maggie Clark of Australia and Anosha Nasir of Pakistan.
