The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) will honor national cricketers during the Naman Awards 2026 ceremony on Sunday. Athletes like Shubman Gill and Smriti Mandhana will receive recognition for their recent performances, and the board will also present lifetime achievement honors to three veterans.
The highest award from the board is the Col. C.K. Nayudu Lifetime Achievement Award for long-term service to the sport. The management selected Roger Binny, Rahul Dravid, and Mithali Raj as the latest recipients for their contributions across playing, coaching, and administrative roles in Indian cricket.

Former BCCI president Roger Binny played a key role in India’s 1983 World Cup victory. He finished as the highest wicket-taker during that campaign. Binny featured in 27 Tests and 72 ODIs. He later coached the India Under-19 team to a World Cup title and also served as a selector.
Rahul Dravid scored over 24,000 runs and took more than 400 catches in 509 international matches. He captained the national side to a Test series victory in England. After retiring, he guided the men's team to the T20 World Cup title in 2024.
Mithali Raj transformed the women's game during her playing career. She represented the country in 333 matches across all formats. She holds the record as the first female cricketer to score over 10,000 international runs. Under her leadership, the India women’s team reached two World Cup finals.
