Inaugurated in the presence of MCA President Ajinkya Naik, members of the Apex Council, along with international and domestic women cricketers from Mumbai, this gesture not only recognises these trailblazers but also aims to inspire the next generation of women cricketers.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
The unveiling coincided with the ICC Women\u2019s ODI World Cup Trophy Tour with DP World in Mumbai as the MCA welcomed the trophy, celebrating Mumbai\u2019s rich cricketing legacy and enduring passion for the sport.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Mumbai has always been at the forefront of Indian women\u2019s cricket. When India competed in its first-ever Women\u2019s World Cup in 1978, the team was led by Mumbaikar Diana Edulji. Continuing that proud tradition, Jemimah Rodrigues will represent India in the upcoming 13th edition of the tournament, with Sayali Satghare also named among the reserves.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

Speaking on the occasion, MCA President Ajinkya Naik said, \u201cMumbai has always been a cradle of talent for Indian women\u2019s cricket, producing leaders and match-winners who have made a lasting impact on the game. From Diana Edulji ji leading India in the first World Cup to today\u2019s stars like Jemimah Rodrigues, our players have carried the city\u2019s legacy with pride. This special wall is a tribute to our women captains, whose contributions will continue to inspire generations. The arrival of the World Cup trophy in Mumbai makes this occasion even more special and strengthens our commitment to supporting women\u2019s cricket at every level.\u201d<\/p>\r\n\r\n
