It should be named the Richa Cricket Stadium: Mamata Banerjee
Moreover, the West Bengal chief minister Mamata Banerjere has also announced to make a cricket stadium in Darjeeling, which should be named the Richa Cricket Stadium.
Mamata Banerjee said, “Richa became a world champion at just 22. On behalf of the West Bengal government, we honoured her, but I want to do more. There’s about 27 acres of land in Darjeeling, and I’ve asked the mayor to plan a cricket stadium there. It should be named the Richa Cricket Stadium so that people remember her performance in the future and are inspired by it.”
Not only in the Final of the ICC Women's Cricket World Cup 2025, Richa Ghosh, made several marks in the entire tournament, especially with her batting. In the league stage match against South Africa Women, when India Women were struggling, Richa produced her career best knock of 94 runs off 77 balls with the help of 11 fours and four sixes.
