Uncapped, not unnoticed: How Salonee Dangore went from track and field to the CPL

Jun 29, 2025, 01:13 AM ET It is rare for an uncapped player to get picked in an overseas T20 league, especially when they have not played in their own country’s equivalent tournament. But Salonee Dangore did the improbable when she signed with Trinbago Knight Riders (TKR) for the 2025 Women’s Caribbean Premier League (CPL). […]

It is rare for an uncapped player to get picked in an overseas T20 league, especially when they have not played in their own country’s equivalent tournament. But Salonee Dangore did the improbable when she signed with Trinbago Knight Riders (TKR) for the 2025 Women’s Caribbean Premier League (CPL).

A legspin-bowling allrounder, the 27-year-old Dangore is one of four overseas players at TKR alongside Lizelle Lee, Shikha Pandey and Jess Jonassen. For the last two WPL seasons, Dangore was a net bowler at Delhi Capitals, the franchise Pandey and Jonassen play for. It would not be a surprise if these two put in a word after watching her at close quarters.

Dangore’s cricketing journey is as improbable as her CPL selection. Growing up, she was a national-level athlete and had no interest in cricket. Until 2015, she did not even know of legspin’s existence.

“When I was in school, I used to run very fast,” she tells ESPNcricinfo. “So our sports teacher asked me to pursue athletics. I would do 100m, 200m, long jump and triple jump. During my Under-14 and Under-17 days, I represented Madhya Pradesh at the national level in all those events.”

She was around 17 when Jose Chacko, a Sports and Youth Welfare officer, advised her mother to make her switch to cricket for better opportunities. Dangore enrolled at an academy run by the former Ranji Trophy player Sunil Lahore in Indore. Since she had only watched boys in her residential colony bowl with long run-ups, she wanted to be a fast bowler. Lahore watched her bowl a couple of deliveries and told her to take up legspin.

After spending about two years at the academy, Dangore joined the Ramesh Bhatia Cricket Foundation (RBCF). As a track-and-field athlete, her fielding was top-notch, but she struggled to turn her legbreaks. That sounds incredible, because currently she can pitch it on middle and leg stump and consistently hit off.

“I was inspired by Shane Warne and the way he turned the ball,” she says. “But my arm would rotate in the other direction and most of my deliveries would end up as googlies. So I would watch his videos in slow motion to figure out how he did it.

“Apart from that, my coaches – Sanjay Choubey sir and Himanshu Vairagi sir – at the RBCF helped in correcting my arm alignment. It took a lot of effort but eventually I was able to turn the ball.”

Dangore made her debut for Madhya Pradesh in 2017-18. Two seasons later, she was their highest wicket-taker (14 in eight games, at an average of 11.50) and third-highest run-scorer (130 at 32.50) in the One-Day Trophy, before Covid-19 ended the tournament prematurely.

The turning point of her career came in 2022, when the Madhya Pradesh Cricket Association (MPCA) called up former India legspinner Narendra Hirwani for a camp. “He changed my mindset completely,” Dangore says. “He said, ‘You will do what you think you can. So you should think you are the best legspinner in the world.’ That advice is still fresh in my mind and gives me a lot of confidence when I am bowling.”

Shortly after that camp, the RBCF also invited Hirwani to their academy. Since then, Dangore has had multiple sessions with him.

“Sir also advised me to bowl slightly faster,” she says. “So right now I am working on increasing my pace while maintaining the turn. Apart from that, I am working on my slider and googly.”

When it comes to batting, Dangore’s focus is on power-hitting and strike rotation, so that she can “contribute in every situation”.

The stints with Capitals have also helped her immensely. “In my first year with them, there were only two net bowlers, [VJ] Joshitha and me,” she says. “I used to bowl in the same set as Jess Jonassen and would ask her about my bowling, tactics, and what to bowl when. Whatever feedback I got, I worked on that.”

Dangore also realised she needed to shoulder more responsibility for her domestic side to stand out. In search of better opportunities, she moved to Chhattisgarh before the 2024-25 season.

She picked up only two wickets in six games in the T20 Trophy, but emerged as Chhattisgarh’s leading wicket-taker in the one-dayers with 15 scalps from six matches at an average of 12.00. With the bat, she was their second-highest run-getter with most of her 144 runs coming at No. 6.

That, in December 2024, remains Dangore’s last competitive tournament. Since then, she has had another stint with Capitals and is eager to show off her learnings. But with the CPL allowing teams to field only three overseas players in their XI, will she get enough game time?

“I am not thinking about that because it’s not in my control,” she says. “Whenever I get a chance, I want to give my best. Moreover, the pitches there [in Guyana] should help spinners.”

Dangore cites Shreyanka Patil’s example. Patil too was uncapped when Guyana Amazon Warriors picked her in 2023, though unlike Dangore she had had a full WPL season behind her. She finished the CPL as the highest wicket-taker with nine wickets from five games.

“I want to create a similar impact,” Dangore says. “Whenever the team needs me – be it with the ball or the bat – I want to win matches. I hope this stint opens up more doors for me.”

With this, the time of year comes when college sports fans find out who their favorite teams will be playing in the upcoming season, and Idaho Volleyball is the latest to announce its finalized schedule for 2025. With her interim tag removed, head coach Romana Redondo Kriskova and staff have brought in a total of eight newcomers from all levels of college and prep volleyball to pair with five returners hungry to bring success to Moscow.

Throughout the rest of the non-conference slate, Idaho will travel to three more non-conference tournaments similarly formatted to the season opening contests. The Vandals will head to Seattle, WA to compete on SU’s home court, facing off against the Manhattan (NY) Jaspers, the host Redhawks, and Cal State Fullerton From September 4-6.

The Non-Con schedule will conclude in Nashville with a doubleheader on Sep. 19 vs. Indiana State and Tennessee State and a morning matinee with Chattanooga the following day. 

CONFERENCE PLAY
The Vandals will return from Nashville to begin prep for the conference season. Four of the first five contests to begin the slate will be on the road, with the Big Sky home opener scheduled for Sep. 27 against the Montana Grizzlies. 

The first home week of the season will feature Northern Colorado and Northern Arizona travelling to Moscow on Oct. 16 and 18, respectively. Following a pair of road contests the week after, the Vandals will play three matches at home in the span of eight days, hosting Eastern Washington on Nov. 1, Weber State on Nov. 6, and Idaho State on Nov. 8. 

To conclude the regular season, Idaho will travel to Montana to face the Griz and the Bobcats before finishing off conference play at home vs. Portland State on Nov 19 and Sacramento State on Nov. 21.

AMARILLO, Texas (KFDA) – West Plains’ upcoming senior, Aaniyah Kitchen, announced her verbal commitment to McNeese State volleyball.

West Plains head volleyball coach, Kaitlyn Cornelius, says Aaniyah’s commitment was always an achievable goal.

“That’s been something that she’s been working towards since I’ve known her and it’s really cool to see,” said Cornelius. “I’m so extremely proud of her and all the just the work that she put in…puts in in our gym, but also behind the scenes and all the extra reps that she gets. You can just tell this is something that she has wanted…this is something that she has worked for. So again, that kind of just makes it that much sweeter it it was one of those things where she sought after it and she did everything that she needed to do. She’s one of the most deserving people and I know she’s gonna do big things at McNeese, and we’re so proud of her.”

The Army, Navy, Marine Corps and Air Force squared off against each other in the 2002 Armed Forces Men’s and Women’s Volleyball Championship at Naval Support Activity Mid-South here Sept. 9-14.

Coming into the double round-robin tournament, the athletes had three goals in mind: to win the tournament, to be named to the all-armed forces team and to have fun. They were battling the odds with the first two, as only two teams could win first place and only 24 would be named to the all-service team. But everyone was able to have fun.

The Navy women took the court for the first game of the tournament, beat Air Force and never looked back in posting a perfect match-play record.

The men’s contest wasn’t as easy and went down to a tie-breaking best- two-of-three match between the Army and Air Force. Both came to the final game with one loss — at the hands of one another. Having just battled Navy an hour before, the Army fell in two games to the Air Force.

At the closing ceremony, after the Navy women and Air Force men received their gold medals, and the Army men and women their silvers, it was time to announce the tournament all-star team and the all-armed forces team.

The Navy women again rose to the top, placing their head coach, Lt. Katie Good, and five players on the 12-person all-armed forces team.

The women on the armed forces team will be: Navy, Lt. Marsha Heineman, Seaman Faye Solis, Lt. j.g. Katie Sheldon, Petty Officer 3rd class Edna McCollum and Lt. j.g. Beth Salness; Marine Corps Gunnery Sgt. Charissa Howard; Army, 1st Lt. Cassandra Clemons, 1st Lt. Jennifer Cave and 2nd Lt. Elizabeth Andreichuk; and Air Force, 1st Lt. Summer Deaton, Capt. Billeye Juarez and Senior Airman Heather Liskey.

The men’s all-armed forces team will be: Navy, Ensign Jeffrey Mund, Petty Officer 3rd class Randall Mindar and Lt. Brian Rosemark; Army, Sgt. Jason Janda, Sgt. Juan Monge-Velazquez, Capt. Leif Fautanu and Staff Sgt. Tausala Faamausili; and Air Force, Staff Sgt. Robert Caldwell, Staff Sgt. Brian Quinn and Airman First Class Ashley Spurlin. The Marines will be represented on court by Navy hospital corpsmen Petty Officer 2nd Class Charles Taylor and Seaman Russel Simmons. The men’s team will be led by Marine Corps team coach Petty Officer 1st class Kahili Schucht.

Heineman, Solis, Sheldon, Clemons, Deaton, Juarez and Marine Corps Capt. Susan Bird composed the tournament all-star women’s squad. On the men’s all stars were Mindar, Simmons, Spurlin, Quinn, Faamausili, Marine Staff Sgt. Frank Duenasnunez and Air Force Master Sgt. Kliengsak Nipchaimanathan.

The tournament displayed teamwork at its best. The skill levels of the players being similar, the difference between who won or lost came down to who came ready to win.

Navy women’s coach Good knows the answer: The Navy women.

“The attitude of this team is the best I have ever worked with, but they are also the most talented,” Good said. “They came in on Day 1 with one goal of winning the gold. They came to play volleyball and clicked right away. If there were any little personality problems, they dealt with them and didn’t bring them to the gym.”

She also attributes the team’s success to leadership, but she doesn’t take credit for it.

“Each one of them is her own individual leader. They were all able to take control of anything that happened out there, and the others instinctively supported them,” Good added.

“We just wanted to be the best. Winning the gold is a bonus,” said Petty Officer 2nd class Kilohana Akim, based in Hawaii at the Pacific Area Armory Detachment.

“They have become a family,” said Rob Hansgen, deputy secretariat of the Armed Forces Sports Council. “First, when they were formed as a team, and now all the services here have become a family. That’s part of the goal of the program for all of the sports.”

“We’re dealing with some of the best athletes in the nation,” Hansgen said “This program is on the same level as (NCAA) Division 1. Some of these players are even Olympic caliber.”

In addition to volleyball the Department of Defense sponsors sports programs in golf, basketball, wrestling, bowling, track and field, racquetball, tennis, softball, boxing and soccer.

Service members interested in representing their branch of service should contact their athletics or recreation department for more details and schedules, or log on to the DoD sports Web site at dod.mil/armedforcessports.

“The combat sports — wrestling and boxing — are the most popular,” Hansgen said, “but all of the programs are highly competitive.”

The all-armed forces team, also known as “Team U.S.A.,” will now represent the United States in the Conseil International du Sports Militaire, known as CISM, championship being held now through Oct. 2 in Constanta, Romania. CISM has 122 member nations.

The host, Capt. Wanda L. Riddle, commander of the support activity, could often be seen cheering on the teams when her schedule allowed. She favored the Navy teams, of course, but she voiced pride in all the teams.

“Sports endeavors such as this tournament play a vital role in our military,” Riddle said. “They provide higher morale and alert minds. Each of the participants here has exhibited dedication, hard work and a willingness to make the sacrifices necessary to be champions.

“It’s great you can all come here and do something different and still represent the U.S. military. I am very proud of all of you and I am glad you are all on the same military team,” she said closing the tournament.

• Dante Benedetti hit two doubles and drove in three runs to lead the Novato South 11s to a 6-2 victory over Twin Cities in the elimination bracket final on Thursday. Novato South’s win sets up a crosstown rivalry title game against Novato North at 10:30 a.m. Saturday at Joe Wagner Field. Novato South needs a win Saturday to force a deciding game Sunday in the double-elimination final. Twin Cities jumped out to a 2-0 lead in the first inning but Novato South scored four times in the top of the third inning.  Finnegan McCall, Xavier Eaton, and Blake Mathews had RBIs in the game for Novato South. Desmond Evans pitched five innings of scoreless relief to earn the victory, allowing four hits and striking out five.

• The Twin Cities 9-10s Little League team scored 12 times in the bottom of the first inning to defeat West Marin 18-1 on Thursday, earning a spot in the tournament’s championship game.

Twin Cities is set to face Ross Valley for the title at 1:30 p.m. Saturday at Joe Wagner Field. Ross Valley takes the title with a win Saturday while Twin Cities needs a victory Saturday to force a winner-take-all game Sunday in the double-elimination format.

Hunter Coghlan had two hits, three RBIs, and scored twice to pace Twin Cities offensively. Leo Storan, Beau Sternberg, Vaughn Johnson, and Zeke Reiter all had two hits. Reiter, Ethan Bennett, and Beau Leibick drove in two runs each for Twin Cities.
