Stadium named after cricketer Richa Ghosh to come up in north Bengal's Siliguri: Mamata

Kolkata, Nov 10, 2025 : West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee on Monday said a stadium will come up in Siliguri, named after World Cup-winning cricketer Richa Ghosh.

Siliguri in north Bengal is the hometown of Ghosh, the 22-year-old wicketkeeper-batter, who played a major role in the women's World Cup triumph.

“The 'Richa Cricket Stadium' will be built on a 27-acre plot at the Chandmani Tea Estate. This is a way to honour Richa, one of Bengal’s shining sports talents, and also encourage more young cricketers from north Bengal," Banerjee told reporters in Siliguri.
