The Andhra Cricket Association has announced that two stands at the ACA-VDCA Vizag cricket stadium will be dedicated to legendary Indian women cricketers Mithali Raj and Raavi Kalpana on October 12, 2025. This unveiling will coincide with the India vs Australia ICC Women’s Cricket World Cup match in Visakhapatnam.

This decision was expedited following a request from star batter Smriti Mandhana during the “Breaking Boundaries" fireside chat in August 2025 with Andhra Pradesh Minister Nara Lokesh. Mandhana highlighted the lack of stadium stands named after leading Indian women cricketers, particularly in Vizag. She suggested that naming stands in their honour would recognise their contributions to the sport and inspire the next generation of women to pursue cricket professionally.
