Assam’s wonderkid Ashmita Chaliha ready for PBL debut

New Delhi: Assam’s wonderkid Ashmita Chaliha recently became the toast of the entire nation after she was crowned the women’s singles champion at the ongoing South Asian Games in Nepal. While that was one of the biggest achievements of her fledgling career, the 20-year-old is already determined to make a mark at the upcoming fifth season of the Premier Badminton League (PBL), scheduled to begin on January 20, where she will make her debut for the North Eastern Warriors.

Getting to don the jersey of the north-eastern franchise in her very first season for the pan-Indian league will be something special for the Guwahati rising star and she is looking forward to being a part of them.

“I feel extremely happy that I got into the North Eastern Warrior’s team,” said Chaliha. “Being an Assam girl and of course as a debutante, I am really excited and feeling proud to be representing my home team,” added the youngster.
