From Kolkata’s slums to elite cricket: The story of India’s Saika Ishaque👍🏻😃

 In a conservative and marginalised environment, especially for women, it is nothing short of remarkable that one of the neighbourhood’s own, Saika Ishaque, picked up cricket at a young age.

What’s more, the “ziddi” (headstrong) player from Park Circus went on to become one of Indian cricket’s breakout stars and rags-to-riches success stories of the year.

In a fairytale-like year, Saika signed a contract with the Mumbai Indians franchise in the inaugural Women’s Premier League (WPL), completed a title-winning campaign with them and made an impressive debut for India in the recent T20 series against England.

The 28-year-old left-arm spinner now finds herself knocking on the doors of the Test team as India look to build a dominant squad.US Olympian Ibtihaj Muhammad: I showed what Muslim women can do in sport
