Sony Sports bowls out Rising Stars in four languages
Women’s Asia Cup Rising Stars 2026 airs 13 to 22 February.
MUMBAI: The future of Asian cricket is about to take guard, and it is coming with fresh flair, fearless strokes and a four-language commentary box. Sony Sports Network, part of Sony Pictures Networks India, is set to broadcast the Women’s Asia Cup Rising Stars 2026 from 13 to 22 February, putting the spotlight firmly on the next generation of women’s cricket in the region.
For the first time, Indian viewers will be able to follow the tournament in English, Hindi, Tamil and Telugu. The multi-language feeds will be available for all matches scheduled on 13 February, 15 February, 17 February, as well as the semi-finals and the final, widening the net for fans across the country.
One fixture already circled in red is the India vs Pakistan clash on 15 February, a rivalry that rarely needs introduction. Even in a Rising Stars format, that contest promises intensity well beyond its age bracket.
Leading the Indian charge will be Radha Yadav, captaining India A and bringing with her the calm authority of a seasoned campaigner. A consistent performer in the Women’s Premier League, Yadav’s all-round credentials and leadership experience will anchor a youthful side eager to make its mark.
The squad also includes debutant Anushka Sharma, a batting all-rounder who has impressed in domestic cricket and recent WPL outings, earning her maiden national call-up. Strengthening the middle order is Humairaa Kaazi, known for her match awareness and ability to contribute with both bat and ball.
Vrinda Dinesh adds solidity to the batting unit, her domestic performances reflecting technique and temperament in equal measure. Minnu Mani, another all-rounder on the rise, arrives with a growing reputation in the T20 format, valued for her ability to influence the game across disciplines.
Beyond India, the tournament will feature Esha Oza leading the UAE, Anushka Sanjeewani at the helm of Sri Lanka A, Fahima Khatun captaining Bangladesh A, Natthakan Chantham representing Thailand and Rubina Chettri carrying Nepal’s hopes. The line-up underscores the tournament’s broader ambition: to give emerging talent from across Asia a stage big enough to match their dreams.
The Women’s Asia Cup Rising Stars 2026 will be broadcast live and exclusive across Sony Sports Network channels and streamed on Sony Liv, ensuring that from 13 to 22 February, the continent’s brightest prospects are just a click or a remote away.
For fans, it is not merely another tournament. It is a glimpse of tomorrow’s headlines, written today.
