Shikha was just 16 years old when she received her first selection to represent her home state of Goa. Over the next ten years, she swiftly ascended the ranks of domestic cricket before earning an opportunity in international cricket. The versatile all-rounder made her international debut in a Test match against England in 2014, followed by her debuts in the other two formats later that same year. Among her many valuable contributions in her career, Shikha’s standout performance of taking 3 wickets and scoring 59 runs in an ODI against South Africa in November 2014 stands out.
