Asha Sobhana is a leg-spin bowling allrounder who made her international debut for India at the age of 33, proving that talent and perseverance can overcome late entry to the highest level. The 35-year-old from Trivandrum, Kerala, bowls legbreaks with a potent googly and has impressed in her limited international appearances, taking 9 wickets in 6 WT20Is at an outstanding average of 16.33 and 4 wickets in 2 WODIs, including a best of 4 for 21. Her performances in the Women’s Premier League have been equally noteworthy, where she has taken 20 wickets in 23 matches for Royal Challengers Bangalore Women and UP Warriorz Women, including a memorable five-wicket haul of 5 for 22. A reliable lower-order batter who can contribute useful runs, Sobhana has also represented India A and various domestic teams including Kerala, Puducherry, and Railways in a career that spanned years before her international breakthrough.
