Lavanya Keny

Lavanya Keny is an Emirati cricketer who bats right-handed and bowls handy right-arm off-spin for the United Arab Emirates women's national team. Known for her technical composure, positive batting approach, and sharp fielding, Keny rose through the UAE's youth system to become an established multi-format international at a young age.

Keny made her Women's T20 International debut at just 15, playing against Qatar at Al Amerat on March 20, 2022. She made an immediate impact with both bat and ball in her early international outings, highlighted by a 42 against Oman and career-best bowling figures of 4 for 3 against Bahrain.

A key figure in UAE's junior cricket milestones, Keny represented the national side at the inaugural 2023 ICC Under-19 Women's T20 World Cup in South Africa, featuring in high-profile matches against India, Australia, and South Africa. She established herself as one of the leading run-scorers and boundary-hitters in Youth T20I history, headlined by standout performances in the ACC Women's U19 Premier Cup, including a blistering 74 off 54 balls against Oman Under-19s.

At the senior level, she earned her Women's One Day International debut against Zimbabwe at Queens Sports Club in Bulawayo on September 26, 2025, top-scoring with a composed 47 in the series. She has since gone on to accumulate more than 60 WT20I caps, representing the UAE across major regional tournaments, including the ACC Women's Premier Cup and the Women's Asia Cup.
