Sharanya "Sharu" Sadarangani (born 3 July 1995) is an Indian-born cricketer who plays for the Germany women's national cricket team as a wicket-keeper-batter, and sometimes as a bowler. Previously, she has played internationally for Denmark, and in English county cricket for Essex. In 2020, she became the first female cricketer to play in the European Cricket Series.[1][2][3]

International career[]

In June 2017, Sadarangani was selected for the Denmark national team squad.[4] Two months later, in August 2017, she played for Denmark as a wicket-keeper-batter, in a European Women's T20 tournament in Antwerp, Belgium.[5]

In the first match of a bilateral series between Germany and Austria held on 12 August 2020 at the Seebarn Cricket Ground near Vienna, Sadarangani made her debut for Germany, and also in Women's Twenty20 Internationals (WT20Is), as a specialist batter. In the third match of that series, held on 13 August 2020, she top scored for Germany with 25*, and also kept wicket for the first time in a WT20I.[6]

On 8 July 2021, Sadarangani bowled for the first time in a WT20I, in the first match of another bilateral series, between Germany and France at the Bayer Uerdingen Cricket Ground, Krefeld. She also recorded her team's best bowling figures of 2 wickets for 10 runs. In the fifth and final match of that series, played on 10 July 2021, she was even more successful as a bowler, with figures of 2 for 6.[6]
