A 13-year-old teenager has been selected by one of the India's finest cricket club, Mumbai Cricket Association (MCA), in the Mumbai under-16 category. Divyanka Singh, daughter of auto driver Harshwardhan, who was born in a small Uttar Pradesh's village, Samraul in Azamgarh, was surprised.
Talking to mid-day, her father said, "I brought her to Mumbai after she cleared her Standard 5th examination. My financial condition was not that good so I got her admitted to a small school in Mulund. One day, she told me she wanted to practice cricket. I tried to convince her that cricket is for boys, and she had no place there."
