Mumbai : The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) will host the BCCI Naman Awards 2026 in Mumbai on Sunday, celebrating the historic achievements of Indian cricket teams and individual players. The awards ceremony will highlight the felicitation of all five Indian teams that have won ICC titles in recent years, marking a first in the history of Indian cricket.
The event’s centerpiece will be the recognition of the Suryakumar Yadav-led Indian T20 World Cup squad, which defeated New Zealand by 96 runs in Ahmedabad on March 8.
