The Cricket Association of Bengal (CAB) is planning to honour the legendary India seamer Jhulan Goswami by naming a stand after her at the iconic Eden Gardens.

Hailing from West Bengal’s Chakdaha town in Nadia district, Jhulan has contributed over 20 years of life to international cricket. She brought the curtains down on her glorious career after the third ODI against England at Lord’s on Saturday (September 24).

“We are planning to name a stand after Jhulan Goswami at Eden Gardens. She is a special cricketer and deserves to be with the legends. We will approach the army for the necessary permission. We are also planning a special felicitation for her on the annual day,” CAB President Avishek Dalmiya said, as quoted by PTI.

“At CAB we give equal importance to women’s cricket and hence we see so many talented cricketers. They are of course inspired by Jhulan’s achievements. Though she has retired from international cricket we would love her to play in the woman’s IPL,” he added.

In her farewell match, Jhulan Goswami returned with the bowling figures of 2/30 in her 10 overs as India defeated England by 16 runs to clinch the ODI series 3-0.

Fondly known as Chakdaha Expres, Jhulan played 12 Tests, 204 ODIs, and 68 T20Is for India, claiming 355 wickets across formats – the most by a bowler in women's cricket.
