Richa Ghosh, India’s young wicketkeeper-batsman and one of the heroes of the 2025 Women’s World Cup, will have a grand homecoming at Eden Gardens this Saturday.
The Cricket Association of Bengal (CAB) will felicitate her with a gold-plated bat and ball in recognition of her outstanding performance in India’s historic title win.
The 21-year-old from Siliguri was one of India’s key players during the tournament. He played crucial blows under pressure and helped the team win their first ever Women’s World Cup.
CAB president Sourav Ganguly confirmed that he will personally honor Richa at the Eden ceremony.
“Richa Ghosh has shown remarkable composure and courage on the world stage. She is an inspiration to every young cricketer in Bengal,” Ganguly said.
The golden bat and ball will bear the signatures of both Ganguly and Jhulan Goswami, two of Bengal’s greatest cricketing figures. CAB said the gifts symbolize not only Ghosh’s achievement but also Bengal’s pride in her success.
The association described Richa as ‘a shining example of determination and fearless cricket’ and called her journey from Siliguri to world champion an inspiration to every aspiring girl in the state.
This felicitation is part of CAB’s new effort to promote women’s cricket and reward excellence among Bangladeshi players. Ganguly also said that the board aims to celebrate local talent achieving global success, making Ghosh’s recognition a special moment for Bengal cricket.
