Minnu Mani

Minnu Mani is an Indian bowling all-rounder from Kerala who has progressed through the domestic circuit to establish herself in the wider India setup. A right-arm off-spinner, she became the first woman cricketer from Kerala to represent India when she made her T20I debut against Bangladesh in July 2023. She also represented India at the 2022 Asian Games, where the team won the gold medal.

Mani has been part of the Delhi Capitals setup in the Women's Premier League since the inaugural season, gaining valuable experience at the franchise level. She has picked up 15 wickets across four seasons. While her batting provides additional depth, it is her off-spin that remains her primary strength and has continued to earn her opportunities in India's emerging-player pathway.

Her performances for India A have provided some of the strongest highlights of her recent career. During the 2026 tour of Australia, Mani produced an outstanding display in the four-day game, taking 11 wickets across the two innings to make a major impact with the ball. The performance further underlined her value as a spin-bowling option in the India A setup.

She was subsequently included in the India A squad for the home series against Australia A in September 2026, featuring in the multi-format group as she continued to build on her experience at the emerging international level.
