15-year-old Habiba Islam Pinky, an emerging pacer from Bangladesh, is set to make her international cricket debut as the Tigresses prepare to host India in a five-match T20I series on home soil.

Pinky has previously showcased her skills in U19 cricket for Bangladesh earlier this year, participating in the tri-series that also featured Sri Lanka and Pakistan.

The team will be led by Nigar Sultana Joty in the upcoming series, with Nahida Akter serving as her deputy.
