Australia will take three uncapped players on a tour to New Zealand for a five-match T20 series starting next month, including teenage leg-spinner Tanveer Sangha.
Tanveer Singh, whose father hails from Punjab and had moved to Sydney in 1997, has broken through into the senior Australia squad.
Indian-origin spinner Tanveer Sangha had a prolific BBL season, emerging as the third-highest wicket-taker, leaving behind established leggies such as T20 stalwart Rashid Khan and compatriot Adam Zampa. He has selected for a five-match T20 series beginning next month for their tour to New Zealand.

The 19-year-old has emerged as the third-highest wicket-taker featuring for the Sydney Thunder, with 21 dismissals at the end of the group stage, at 16.66 runs per and an economy of 8.04 runs per over, leaving behind established leggies such as T20 stalwart Rashid Khan and playing partner Adam Zampa.
In the Big Bash, in the Powerplays, and at death, Sangha was included. To curtail the run rate and to produce breakthroughs against a red-hot Glenn Maxwell. Fans also called him “the true heir to Nathan Lyon” and the word “outstanding” was used by Thunder coach Shane Bond.
Tanveer’s father, Joga Sangha Ji, hails from Rampur, a village 20km from Jalandhar. Joga moved to Australia in 1997 for education before eventually settling down in the southwestern suburbs of Sydney. Joga Singh works as a Taxi driver in Sydney, while Tanveer’s mother works as an accountant in Sydney.
