Jemimah made her debut for India in 2018, when she was just 17 years old. Since then, she has competed for India in a total of 58 Twenty20 Internationals and 21 One-Day Internationals.

After Jemihah has finished her responsibilities for India in the Asia Women’s Cup, she will become a member of the Stars squad. The event will take place in Bangladesh from the 1st to the 16th of October.
