TARA Norris is the talk of the town in India on Sunday. A fifer in her first game of the Women’s Premier League against Royal Challengers Bangalore (5/29) — with Ellyse Perry, Richa Ghosh and Heather Knight among her victims — helped Delhi Capitals register a massive 60-run win at the Brabourne Stadium.
When Delhi Capitals safely secured her in the WPL auction almost a month ago, it was considered a steal. She is a new-ball swing bowler, bowls left-arm, and had put her name up on the docket as a USA national — Norris had made her USA debut in October 2021. What more, her selection meant, DC became the only team that could field five overseas players in a XI. According to the rules, a team can play one additional overseas player if she is from an associate nation.
As Norris ran through RCB’s star-studded middle-order, social media went haywire. A USA representative flying the associate nations’ flag high in the biggest stage for a women’s T20 competition — the fairytale story that anyone could have asked for. However, there is more to it.
