Cricket Australia Chairman Mike Baird: ICC Chairman Jay Shah noted their contribution to the sport as the Andhra Cricket Association (ACA) on Sunday paid a glowing tribute to two of the state’s most accomplished women cricketers — Mithali Raj and Raavi Kalpana — by naming a stand and a gate after them respectively at the ACA–VDCA Cricket Stadium.
The inauguration ceremony of the stand and gate was held on Sunday, just before the start of India's crucial Women's ODI World Cup match against Australia.
Speaking on the occasion, ICC Chairman Jay Shah said, “I congratulate the Andhra Government and ACA for this commendable gesture. Mithali Raj’s journey and her achievements resonate across the cricketing world, so naming a stand after her is a befitting tribute to her legacy. I am also confident that this gesture will galvanise support for women’s Cricket in the region, inspire more young girls to take up the sport, and motivate emerging Cricketers to strive for higher levels of excellence,” he added.
