Who is Yasmin Badiani? The mystery woman seen smiling at Jasprit Bumrah during Edgbaston Test

The spectators will have to wait until the fifth day to find out the outcome of the India vs. England 2nd Test match at Edgbaston, Birmingham. The match is going to the very end, which is fantastic news for cricket fans, even though the batting tracks are flat.

Even though Bumrah was rested for the Edgbaston Test, he was able to make waves on social media by posting a happy photo of himself with an unidentified woman in the Indian dugout, rather than his blazing deliveries. 

On and off the ground, Jasprit Bumrah's fandom is no secret. Bumrah and a woman wearing Team India's training kit were seen grinning on video during the 26th over of England's opening innings. Fans began speculating about her identity as soon as the picture became viral.

The internet was ablaze with rumours about the unidentified woman donning the Indian jersey and Jasprit Bumrah as soon as the images and videos became public. Yasmin Badiani, a member of the England and Wales Cricket Board's (ECB) Operations team, is that woman.

Why she was spotted sporting a Team India training jersey baffled many. Yasmin's official assignment by the England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) to support the Shubman Gill-led Test team during the Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy in England is the reason she is wearing an Indian outfit.

During the current England tour, she is responsible for managing logistics, scheduling, and facilitating communication between the Indian cricket team and the ECB. 

In terms of her professional background, Yasmin has worked for numerous companies as a physiotherapist. She started playing sports in 2010 and was employed by Leicester City Football Club from 2010 until 2013. She later moved to ORS Sport and Phizz Ltd as Head of Sport, where she concentrated on athlete performance and recuperation. She now works in operations and logistics at ECB after years of expertise.
