Taniyaa joins UT Cricket Association
Chandigarh, Sept. 24 -- After nearly 13 years, cricketer Taniyaa Bhatia has decided to switch from the Punjab Cricket Association (PCA) to the UT Cricket Association (UTCA) for domestic cricket. Rated as one of India's most successful wicket-keepers, Taniyaa is also the first woman cricketer from Chandigarh to represent the country.
She rose to fame after making her international debut in 2018 against South Africa, a move that came after Sushma Verma, who was part of the 2017 World Cup team, was dropped from the team. Even though Taniyaa was eligible to join the UTCA in 2019 when the state unit received its BCCI affiliation, she had decided to continue with the PCA. Since then, the UTCA has made significant strides in improving its setup. Taniyaa, 27, who has been leading Punjab in recent years, has now decided to join the UTCA. Having learned her early lessons at the DAV School Cricket Academy in Sector 8 under coach Yograj Singh, she will be eyeing a comeback to the Indian team through success in domestic cricket.
Having played 53 T20Is, two WTests and 19 WODIs, wicket-keeper-cum-batter, who has also played Women's T20 Challenge and is in the Delhi Capitals team in the Women's Premier League (WPL), would hope to pile up lots of runs to get back into the national reckoning.
According to sources, Taniyaa became UTCA's registered player on September 22 and will be seen in action representing her new state team in the upcoming four-state T20 tournament for senior women to be hosted by PCA. The UTCA senior women team will take on PCA senior women team on September 26 in New Chandigarh....
