Who is Tanveer Sangha? Indian-origin leg spinner in Australia World Cup Squad

Who is Tanveer Sangha? Indian-origin leg spinner in Australia WC Squad: Australia team has announced an 18-member squad for ODI WC 2023, and Tanveer Sangha is grabbing eyeballs.

Sangha has earned maiden call-up owing to pitches in India favoring spin or being on the slower side.

While the squad will be later trimmed to a 15-member squad, Sangha’s selection ahead of many more experienced tweakers in the Australia team has intrigued fans.

Sangha is born and brought up in Sydney however, the 21-year originally hails from Indian family, who had migrated from Punjab Jalandhar in the 1990s. The leg-spinner’s father Jogi went to Australia seeking education and works as a taxi driver.

Sangha’s mother Upneet is an accountant. Sangha is just the fourth Indian-origin player to get selected for Australia after Stuart Clark, Gurinder Sandhu, and Branby Cooper.

Sangha came to the limelight during Big Bash League (BBL). Playing for Sydney Thunder, the leg spinner took 21 wickets in the 2020-21 season of BBL and backed it up by picking another 16 wickets in the next season.

Sangha was also the leading wicket-taker in 2020 Under-19 World Cup picking up 15 wickets in six matches.

When quizzed by chairman of selectors George Bailey on Sangha’s selection, the former Australia captain said, “Tanveer’s BBL form when he is fit has been excellent, so he’s one that we are really impressed with. The common comment around Tanveer is that he’s very mature on the field and a great thinker about how he goes about it.”

Players were making jokes about their teammates in the changing area, which created a genuinely joyous mood.

One of the best parts of the changing room sequences was definitely the banter between Mohammed Siraj and Virat Kohli.

Siraj: What a comeback! We only wanted to take it one game at a time. Qualification or the playoffs is not in our control. What is in our control is, fast bowlers have the balls, batters have the bat. All we have to do is attack. If we qualify, it’s very good. But we just want to continue playing this brand of cricket.

Kohli: (laughs) He is saying batter has a bat and bowler has a ball

Siraj: The mindset is to take wickets, right?

Virat Kohli’s “Alag Cricket Chal Raha hai”

Kohli: (laughs) Alag cricket chal rahi hai (he is playing different cricket). Just say, “All I can see are stumps”

Siraj: Siuuuuuu…

Kohli: (laughs) He is saying see you.

In another video shared by RCB, the franchise’s players could be seen celebrating their victory against DC, the fifth consecutive of the season, in a wild manner.
