[3][4] They would play at the void deck of her grandparents' house in Ang Mo Kio, using biscuit tins as makeshift stumps, and a tennis ball.
[2] After Diviya left school, she studied Clinical Science at Charles Sturt University in New South Wales, Australia,[2] a course that has greatly helped her in her cricket career.
[6] While living in Australia as a student, she played cricket for the men's team of a club, and hockey and soccer for her university.
[4] She also played men's club cricket in Australia, with Waratahs in Darwin in 2008, and with Cavaliers in Orange, New South Wales, in 2011.
As the team's players were not paid, she was sponsored by well-wishers including Joe Grimberg, former Judicial Commissioner of the Supreme Court of Singapore and patron of the SCA, and Skiya Sports.
[7] In both years, she also attempted to raise sponsorship to play domestic cricket in both Sri Lanka and Australia, but was unsuccessful.
[12] Diviya again led Singapore in the 2007 ACC Women's Championship, a 30-over a side tournament also held in Johor Bahru, in July 2007.
[13][14] Two years later, at the ACC Women's Twenty20 Championship held in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, in July 2009, Singapore started slowly but met with more success.
Following a third victory in a row, against Bhutan by 34 runs, Diviya took 2–11 in Singapore's fourth consecutive win, by six wickets against Malaysia in the playoff for 5th place.
[16] In January 2013, Diviya, but not Singapore, had a more successful ACC Women's Championship, which that year was played in a 25-overs per side format in Chiang Mai, Thailand.
[17] Diviya ended the tournament as Singapore's top scorer (136 runs in six innings, with a highest of 52) and wicket-taker (six wickets at an average of 15 with a best of 2-21).
[21] Ahead of the 2016 Saudari Cup, held at Johor Cricket Academy Oval, Malaysia, Diviya reassumed the captaincy.
[23] In August 2017, Diviya again captained Singapore in the Women's twenty20 tournament at the 2017 Southeast Asian Games in Selangor, Malaysia.
[26] The following year, on 9 August 2018, Diviya made her Women's Twenty20 International (WT20I) debut for, and also captained, Singapore against Malaysia at the Selangor Turf Club, Kuala Lumpur, in the first match of the 2018 Saudari Cup.
[29] During the six-match tournament, Diviya made the most runs and took the most wickets for Singapore, and also topped both the batting and bowling averages for the team.
[1] Diviya's career in business began in November 2016, when she started a three-month stint as a marketing executive at Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu.
