Kolkata: One of the stands at the iconic Eden Gardens stadium here is soon to be renamed after India legend Jhulan Goswami.
The Block B gallery of Eden Gardens is to be renamed in her honour and the stand will be inaugurated on January 22, 2025, during India Women’s first T20I against England.
Goswami, who retired two years ago after an illustrious 20-year career, was one of best fast bowlers in women's cricket and still holds the record for most wickets in women's ODIs.
Goswami finished her career featuring in 12 Tests, 204 ODIs, and 68 T20Is, claiming 355 wickets across formats. After retirement she has worked as a mentor for Bengal's senior women's team and also been involved in the Women's Premier League.
Apart from Goswami, former India captain Sourav Ganguly, former India international Pankaj Roy, and former BCCI presidents Jagmohan Dalmiya and Biswanath Dutt have stands named after them at Eden Gardens.
