SPORTS : Legendary Jhulan Goswami will have a stand named in her honour in the ‘B’ Block of the iconic Eden Gardens here, following a proposal by the Cricket Association of Bengal.

A proposal to rename the ‘B’ Block in honour of the former India pacer has been placed before the apex body of CAB and if all goes well, it will be unveiled during the India-England T20I on January 22 next year.

“I never imagined something like this would come to fruition. I would definitely love to watch a match from there,” said Goswami.

“For any cricketer, the ultimate dream is to represent her district, state, or country, but receiving an honour like this is truly monumental.” “A dedicated stand is a huge, significant honour and it’s only possible because of the CAB’s vision to promote women’s cricket. Words can’t do justice to this recognition,” she added. PTI
