The BCCI annual NAMAN awards 2026 are to be held in Delhi.
The BCCI awards celebrate India's recent success in ICC events across formats and age groups, as well as honor the best performers in international and domestic games in the 2024/25 season.
The five Indian teams that have won the ICC trophies in the last year are the senior India men’s team that won the 2026 T20 World Cup and the ICC Champions Trophy 2025; the senior women’s team that won the 2025 ICC Women’s World Cup; the U19 men’s team that won the U19 World Cup; and the U19 women’s team, which won the U19 Women’s T20 World Cup.
“The BCCI Awards ceremony will happen on March 15 in New Delhi. We are going to invite all the ICC tournament winners, including the recent T20 World Cup champions, as well as coaches. Apart from the senior men's team, the senior women's team, the U19 boys’ side, and the U19 girls’ team, who won the trophy in 2025, will also be invited,” Saikia told IANS on Tuesday.
The awards ceremony will be held in the national capital at a five-star hotel near the airport, as the men's team players must attend pre-season training for their different IPL franchises before the league begins on March 28.
Saikia also said India's 2025 Champions Trophy-winning squad will also be honored in the ceremony.
“We will also invite the 2025 Champions Trophy-winning team members too. So, five ICC trophies were won by various Indian teams during the course of the last year—all the members of those teams will be honored on the awards night, and it will be a great evening,” he added.
The BCCI has offered a financial award of Rs 131 crore for the 2026 Men's T20 World Cup-winning squad and support staff. It is an increase of Rs six crore over the total prize money offered for the 2024 Men's T20 World Cup-winning side.
“Regarding the prize money breakdown for the 2026 Men's T20 World Cup winning team, we'll let you know soon. But the total amount of Rs 131 crore—this is an unprecedented amount given to any victorious Indian team by the BCCI. Apart from the winning team, all support staff and selectors will get this money too,” Saikia concluded.
