The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) decided its entries for the upcoming National Sports Awards. It has chosen to recommend Ravichandran Ashwin and Mithali Raj for the Khel Ratna Awards while Shikhar Dhawan, Jasprit Bumrah, and KL Rahul are on the list for the Arjuna Awards.
A source close to the BCCI confirmed the same to ANI. In a chat with the ANI, the source said, “We had a detailed discussion and it was decided to send in the names of Ashwin and women’s Test and ODI skipper Mithali’s name for the Khel Ratna. We are recommending Dhawan again for the Arjuna while we will also suggest the names of Rahul and Bumrah.”
Ashwin is one of the world’s top-allrounders in Test Cricket right now. On the flip side, Mithali is the skipper of the Indian Women’s Test and ODI sides. Just a few days back, she also completed 22 years of her Test career.
The Ministry of Youth Affairs and Sports has recently decided to extend the deadline for the submission of applications for the National Sports Awards 2021. The earlier deadline was June 21.
