1st T20I: CAB Names Eden Gardens Stand After Legendary Fast-bowler Jhulan Goswami
President Snehasish Ganguly: During the T20I series opener between India and England, the Cricket Association of Bengal (CAB) officially unveiled a spectator stand named after legendary fast-bowler Jhulan Goswami at the iconic Eden Gardens here on Wednesday.
The CAB added that it has named another stand at the venue after valiant military war hero Col N.J. Nair, with both unveilings done by President Snehasish Ganguly. With this, Jhulan has become the first prominent women’s cricketer to have a stand named after her in a stadium. She also rang the customary Eden bell before the start of the match, which India won by seven wickets.
“On behalf of CAB, I take the opportunity to unveil the Col N.J Nair and Jhulan Goswami stands. It is an honour for me to be a part of this memorable evening as we salute the bravery and achievements of these two iconic personalities,” said Ganguly in a CAB statement.
