BCCI to Honour Five ICC-Winning Indian Teams at NAMAN Awards in New Delhi
BCCI to host 2026 NAMAN Awards in New Delhi on March 15, honouring five Indian teams that won ICC trophies in a golden year.
The BCCI will host the 2026 NAMAN Awards on March 15 in New Delhi. The event will take place at a five-star hotel near the airport and will celebrate a remarkable year for Indian cricket.
The ceremony will honour five Indian teams that won ICC trophies across formats and age groups over the last year. It will bring together players, coaches, and support staff from each of these historic victories.
The teams being celebrated include the men’s squad that won the 2025 Champions Trophy and the women’s team that lifted the 2025 Women’s ODI World Cup. Both triumphs added to a memorable run for Indian cricket.
India’s young stars will also be honoured at the event. The 2025 U-19 Men’s World Cup winners and the 2025 U-19 Women’s T20 World Cup champions will be recognised for their achievements on the global stage.
The latest addition to this list is India’s men’s team that won the 2026 T20 World Cup. The squad recently defeated New Zealand in the final to lift the title and cap a dominant campaign.
All players and support staff from these teams are expected to attend the ceremony. The gathering will act as a rare moment where multiple generations of champions share the same stage.
Some of India’s biggest cricket names are also likely to be present. Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli are expected to attend, depending on their schedules.
Former captain MS Dhoni is also likely to be part of the evening. India’s current head coach Gautam Gambhir is expected to attend along with members of the coaching group.
A BCCI official confirmed that invitations will go out to all members of the winning teams.
“We plan to invite all the ICC tournament winners, including the recent T20 World Cup champions, along with their coaches,” he said.
The venue has been chosen carefully to help players travel easily. With the IPL 2026 season approaching, many players will soon join their franchise squads.
Holding the event near the airport will make it easier for cricketers to attend the ceremony and quickly move to their next commitments.
The board has also announced a massive reward for the latest champions. The men’s T20 World Cup-winning squad and support staff will receive a total cash prize of ₹131 crore, the highest ever announced by the BCCI.
The NAMAN Awards this year will celebrate what many are calling a golden phase for Indian cricket. Success across senior teams and youth levels has made the last year one of the most dominant periods in the country’s cricket history.
