Mumbai, Apr 15 (UNI) In a historic move to honour India's cricketing icons, the Mumbai Cricket Association (MCA) on Tuesday approved a proposal to rename three stands at the Wankhede Stadium after skipper Rohit Sharma, former India captain Ajit Wadekar, and veteran administrator Sharad Pawar.
The decision was taken at the MCA's Annual General Meeting (AGM), where the resolution — initially proposed by apex council member Milind Narvekar and seconded by Jitendra Awhad — received unanimous approval from the house.
"Three stands at Wankhede Stadium will be honoured after notable figures in Indian cricket. The Grand Stand Level 3 will be named the Shri Sharad Pawar Stand, Grand Stand Level 4 will become the Ajit Wadekar Stand, and Divecha Pavilion Level 3 will be designated as the Rohit Sharma Stand," an MCA statement said.
