Check out Sindhu’s bio, below:
Growing up in India, Sindhu (Sins) got her start in cricket as most kids growing up there do - playing gully cricket in her neighborhood. At the age of 9, she was introduced to formal coaching. From then on, her skill and passion for the game grew as fast as she did. Sins went on to play age-level cricket for Karnataka (South Zone), then the National Cricket Academy and eventually India’s U-21 Team.
At the age of 24, Sins relocated to the USA and began what she calls her “second innings” in the sport. In 2017, she made her way onto the USA National Women’s Team as Captain and led the team in their European Qualifiers that same year. Sins remains the USA National Women’s Team Captain and has recently led the team to victories in two Americas Qualifiers. She not only captains the USA National Women’s Team, but is the only associate-level player to captain a team in the Fairbreak Invitational Tournament. In 2023, Sins led The Warriors to a Fairbreak championship win and was highly regarded by the world cricket community for her leadership.
Sins is immensely grateful for the opportunities cricket has provided her. In addition to playing for her country and captaining the USA National Women’s Team, she also wishes to contribute her diverse knowledge and extensive experience in the sport to benefit and develop the cricket community for girls and women in the USA.
