The slow left-arm orthodox spinner also looked in good form in the recent warm-up games (one T20 and one ODI) against the ECB Development Women’s XI. While she didn’t find any purchase in the T20 fixture, in the 50-over match, the youngster took a three-wicket haul.
She had earlier made her ODI debut during the tri-series comprising Sri Lanka and South Africa this year in April and impressed by taking six wickets in five games. The following month, she found her name in both the ODI and T20I squads for India’s tour of England.
ALSO READ:
Given her domestic exploits, she was a hot commodity in the WPL 2025 auction and triggered a bidding war amongst teams. Despite being uncapped, Charani was amongst the top-five most-expensive signings in the WPL 2025 auction after being acquired by DC for INR 55 lakhs.
While she played just the two matches in the season, the Andhra cricketer looked promising in her limited appearances. She made he WPL 2025 debut against the Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) on March 1 and played the other match in the Final against Mumbai Indians (MI), which DC lost by eight runs.
Shree Charani took two wickets in both games at an average of 17.75. Apart from her bowling, she can contribute with the bat as well.
