India vs Australia: The son of a taxi driver has also got a place in the team for the India-Australia T20 series. This player has returned to the T20 team after 2 years. This opportunity has arisen for him after the unavailability of the team's star leg spinner. We are talking about Australian cricketer Tanveer Sangha, who has been included in Australia's T20 team for the series against India in place of Adam Zampa.

Tanveer Sangha in the team after 2 years

Tanveer Sangha played the last T20 match for Australia 2 years ago i.e. in December 2023. The amazing thing is that he also played the last T20 against India in Bengaluru. And, now that he has made a comeback after 2 years, the T20 series is against India only.

Tanvir Sanghane, who made his T20 debut in August 2023, has played only 7 international matches in the shortest format of cricket in his career, in which he has taken 10 wickets. In this, he has taken 4 wickets once, which is his best performance. And, he did this feat on his debut against South Africa.

Why is Adam Zampa out?

In the current T20 series against India, Tanveer Sangha will replace Adam Zampa, who will be out of the initial matches of the series due to the birth of his second child. Adam Zampa is Australia's leading wicket taker in T20 International, so there will be pressure on Tanveer Sangha to fill his place.

In an interview given to Tribune, Joga Sangha had told that no one in his family was fond of cricket. Only Kabaddi and volleyball were liked. But after Tanveer took up cricket, there is now a cricketer in the house.
