Melbourne, September 1

Six Indian cricketers, including vice-captain Smriti Mandhana, will be part of the upcoming Women’s Big Bash League (WBBL), starting October 27. Mandana was pre-signed by Adelaide Strikers.

Top-order batter Dayalan Hemalatha (Perth Scorchers) and wicketkeeper-batter Yastika Bhatia (Melbourne Stars) will make their WBBL debut. Yastika joins all-rounder Deepti Sharma at Stars.

All-rounder Shikha Pandey has been picked up by Brisbane Heat, where she joins batter Jemimah Rodrigues.

India captain Harmanpreet Kaur, who has played for Melbourne Renegades in the past, was not drafted.

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
