MUMBAI: The Mumbai Cricket Association (MCA) on Thursday conferred cricket legends Dilip Vengsarkar and Diana Edulji with the prestigious Lifetime Achievement Award for their extraordinary contributions to the sport. 

Vengsarkar and Edulji have been key contributors to Mumbai and Indian cricket, not only as players but also as administrators. They were honoured at a glittering Annual Awards Function held at the Sharad Pawar Indoor Cricket Academy and Recreation Centre in BKC, Mumbai, where MCA also celebrated the city’s cricketing excellence and recognised the top performers of the 2022-23 and 2023-24 seasons.

A key member of the 1983 World Cup-winning team, Vengsarkar captained India in 10 Tests and 18 ODIs and later served as MCA Vice-President and Chairman of BCCI’s Selection Committee. Edulji, whose international career spanned over 17 years, played a pioneering role in establishing and promoting women’s cricket in India. IANS
