[edit]

Rumeli Dhar made her international debut on 27 January 2003, in the 2002–03 World Series of Women's Cricket against England in New Zealand at Bert Sutcliffe Oval, Lincoln.[5] She was part of the India side that reached the final of the 2005 World Cup, and was the side's joint-leading wicket-taker at the 2009 World Twenty20.[3] Having not played an international match since 2012, on the back of her domestic performances, Dhar made an "unlikely" comeback to the national side in 2018, where she played her final three international matches, two against South Africa and one against Australia.[3][6][2]
