<\/strong>
Divya Singh was born on 21 July 1982 and was a former captain of the India women’s national basketball team. Divya led the Indian women’s basketball team at the 2006 Melbourne Commonwealth Games. <\/p>\n

Divya is from Varanasi, which has had a reputation of being uniquely illustrious in churning out national-level basketball talents. Her early inspiration to get into the game as an adolescent was her older sister Priyanka, who received notable basketball success herself when she got a chance to play for her state team. <\/p>\n

In two years, Divya\u2019s casual dribbling drills morphed into serious interest in the game, and at 14, she got her first call-up to the Varanasi District Junior Team. Two years later, she was called up to play for the seniors. She was in her senior year at high school when she got her call-up to represent her state Uttar Pradesh (UP) in the senior nationals.<\/p>\n

She is considered to be one of the best women cagers in India, known for her game skills, leadership qualities, academic strength and personality.
