"I never imagined something like this would come to fruition. I would definitely love to watch a match from there," Goswami said. "For any cricketer, the ultimate dream is to represent her district, state or country, but receiving an honour like this is truly monumental.

"A dedicated stand is a huge, significant honour, and it's only possible because of the CAB's vision to promote women's cricket. Words can't do justice to this recognition."

Goswami finished her international career with 44 wickets in 12 Tests, a world-record 255 wickets in 204 ODIs, and recorded another 56 dismissals in 68 T20Is. With 355 wickets, she also has the record for the most wickets in women's international cricket.
