Before his selection for the ICC Cricket World Cup in 2015, allrounder Soumya Sarkar had just one one-day international to his name. However, his consistent performances in domestic cricket left no doubt about his place in the squad. Soumya is primarily a top-order batsman with the ability to bowl medium-pace. His journey in international cricket began when he participated in the 2010 ICC Under-19 Cricket World Cup, which helped develop his skills and passion for the game. Soumya made his maiden ODI appearance in December 2014, facing Zimbabwe, where he contributed with a brisk 20 runs from 18 deliveries. This marked the beginning of his international career, and he would go on to make a more significant impact in the years that followed.
