Port Louis, April 30

India will have a strong four-player presence at the inaugural MCB Ladies Classic Mauritius, with Diksha Dagar leading the charge alongside Tvesa Malik, Vani Kapoor and Hitaashee Bakshi at the scenic Legends Course.

Vani Kapoor arrives with recent experience of playing in Mauritius, having featured in the IGPL Invitation at the Anahita Course. Meanwhile, fellow LET regulars Pranavi Urs and Avani Prashanth have opted to skip the event to take a short break.

Diksha, who has set her sights on clinching the Women's Indian Open this season, will begin her campaign early at 7:20 am in the company of Alessandra Fanali and Alexandra Forsterling. Hitaashee Bakshi is paired with Lianna Bailey and Gabriella Cowley for the opening two rounds.

Tvesa Malik, aiming to make a strong push to regain her tour card, is grouped with Lilly May Humphreys and Bobbi Brown. Vani Kapoor will tee off alongside Corrine Viden and Chloe Williams in her opening round.

All eyes will also be on England's Esme Hamilton, fresh off her maiden LET victory at the Investec SA Women's Open. Carrying strong momentum, Hamilton has travelled directly to Mauritius and will look to build on her success. She has climbed to fourth in the LET Order of Merit and is eager to maintain her impressive form.

The tournament features a competitive field of 120 players contesting a 54-hole stroke play event at the Constance Belle Mare Plage's Legends Course, known for its narrow fairways and challenging greens.

Hamilton will begin her title bid at 7:40 am local time, playing alongside Agathe Laisne of France and Sweden's Kajsa Arwefjall.

Nice to see Indian women golfers getting recognition, but I wish there was more media coverage back home. These players are competing in Mauritius while most people don't even know. Diksha has that champion mindset - she'll do well. Let's hope Tvesa finds her form again.

Four players in a 120-strong field is decent representation. Vani has the course knowledge advantage, Diksha has the hunger for that Indian Open win, and Hitaashee is the young gun. Tvesa's fight for her tour card adds drama. The A-game from Hamilton will be the benchmark. Let's see some
