The ongoing second Test of the five-match Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy between India and England at Edgbaston has been nothing short of a blockbuster. From Shubman Gill’s sensational knock to Mohammed Siraj’s fiery six-wicket haul, the action on the pitch has kept fans on the edge of their seats.

However, one off-field moment managed to divert attention from the cricketing heroics. During the England’s first innings, cameras zoomed in on a woman in the Indian team’s dugout. She was seen smiling and appearing to be in conversation with Jasprit Bumrah. The image of the woman quickly went viral on social media.

Mystery Woman Identified: Meet Yasmin Badiani

Soon after the clip gained online attention, fans began asking: Who is the woman in the Indian kit speaking with Jasprit Bumrah? The answer? Yasmin Badiani, a professional associated with the England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB).

Badiani is currently a member of the ECB’s Operations Team, and as part of standard hosting protocols during international tours, she has been assigned to assist the Indian team throughout their England tour.

Her responsibilities include coordinating travel schedules, managing logistics, and ensuring smooth communication between the ECB and the BCCI. 

Why Was Yasmin Badiani Wearing Team India's Jersey?

A common question fans asked was why an ECB official was seen in Indian colours. The answer lies in her designated role. Yasmin has been officially assigned to the Indian contingent. As an operations person, she helps with real-time updates on match logistics, security movements, training slots, and stadium access. 

It is important to mention that she is not new to the world of sports. According to her LinkedIn profile, she graduated with a degree in physiotherapy. From 2010 to 2013, Yasmin served as a sports physiotherapist for Leicester City Football Club. 

Later, she moved into the business and leadership side of sports science, becoming the Head of Sport for two leading hydration and recovery product companies that is Phizz Ltd and ORS Sport.
