India wicketkeeper batter Richa Ghosh has been nominated for the Player of the tournament award for the Women's 20-20 World Cup 2023. She did well with the bat in the tournament as she scored 136 runs in five games at an average of 68 batting as a finisher. She is the only Indian to be nominated for the award. There are other players who are nominated for the same.

Players such as Meg Lanning, Alyssa Healy, and Ash Gardner (Australia). Nat Sciver-Brunt and Sophie Ecclestone (England), Laura Wolvaardt, and Tazmin Brits from South Africa made it to the list. While the likes of India and England have lost the semis of the tournament, Australia and South Africa will play the final.

Richa Ghosh will play for Bangalore in the inaugural Women's Premier League

Meanwhile, the 2023 Women's U19 World Cup winner was bought by Bangalore. After her signing, she explained her goals in her career and personal life front.

“We have a lot of expectations from her, but I'm more excited about she sharing the Bangalore dressing room with some of biggest names, in which some are her good friends,” a proud Manabendra Ghosh, Richa's father, told hindustantimes.com over the phone. He is optimistic that WTL will “revolutionise women cricket”.

“All my parents wanted me to achieve was to play for India. I want to captain my team and win a major trophy for India. Looking to buy a flat in Kolkata. I want my mother and father to settle down there. I want them to enjoy their life now. They have struggled a lot in their life, and they have worked hard a lot for me. Even now, my father does umpire. After the auction, I hope he doesn't have to work so hard,” the wicketkeeper told the official broadcaster after bagging her new RCB contract.
