Who is Snehith Reddy?
Snehith Reddy is a cricketer who has been selected for New Zealand in the U-19 World Cup 2024. The 17-year-old is also known as Lucky Reddy who was born in Vijayawada, Andhra Pradesh, India. He is currently in his 13th year at Hamilton Boys High School.
It all started because of his father whom Snehith watched playing club cricket. However, he revealed, as per the Indian Weekender outlet, that his father would use him as a substitute fielder which he didn’t like.
The previous year, he won the title of “the most valuable player of the tournament” at the New Zealand “Under 17” competition.
As per the outlet mentioned above, he stated:
“I plan to play cricket professionally. I’d love to represent Northern Districts at the FC level, and in the long-term representing New Zealand on the international level is something I’ve always dreamt of and would be the ultimate honour and privilege.”
