For the already highly anticipated encounter in the ninth season of the ongoing Women’s Big Bash League (WBBL), the specific seating zone will be named “Chamari Bay,” with an aim to celebrate the Sri Lanka skipper’s cricketing prowess.
“I am truly honored and thrilled to have a dedicated seating zone named after me at the Sydney Cricket Ground. It’s a special moment for me, and I am looking forward to the match at this iconic venue. I hope ‘Chamari Bay’ becomes a gathering place for cricket enthusiasts and brings people together to celebrate the spirit of the game,” said Chamari in a statement.
