Shambhavi Rajput, captain of the J&K Under-19 women's team, has been picked for the India A Under-19 Women's squad for a triangular series, according to a Jammu and Kashmir Cricket Association (JKCA) announcement reported on 10 November.
Who else made the lists
Rubia Syed is in the North Zone T20 squad.
Shambhavi Rajput, Aleeza Jaan and Maria Noorain are named as North Zone T20 standbys.
Rohit Rana has been picked as trainer for the North Zone T20 Trophy.
The selectors named in the report were Reema Malhotra (DDCA), Rajni Kumari (HCA), Renu Margreate (PCA), Neha (HPCA), Amit Prashar (UTCA) and Meenu Slathia (JKCA).
What JKCA said
The association said the selection "reflects her dedication, hard work and consistent performances", and said it hoped it would inspire more young girls in J&K to take up cricket.
The dates and venues of the triangular series were not included in the report, and JammuBeat has not found them from another source yet. We will cover them once they are announced.
Why it matters
For girls playing district and age-group cricket in Jammu, a call-up from the J&K U-19 team to an India A side shows the pathway the association's selection system opens: state team, zonal squads, then national-level A teams.
