Madhuri Mehta, the young woman cricketer of Balangir who has been selected as one of the members of the Indian women’s cricket team to play five T-20 matches in West Indies, was given a rousing welcome here on Wednesday.
“I am elated at the overwhelming response and blessings of the people of Balangir. I shall try to achieve more,” Madhuri said in response to the reception.
Asked to comment on what needs to be done for development of women cricket in Balangir, Madhuri underlined the need of a gymnasium first.
“This is the result of hard work of Madhuri and blessings of the people of Balangir. I would like to thank the senior cricketers of Balangir, and especially the District Athletic Association and Nari Bhai,” said Madhuri’s coach Arun Nayak who started coaching women cricketers five years ago. “Opening batting and fielding is the major strength of Madhuri,” Nayak added.
Madhuri, who was accompanied by her parents, Pradeep Mehta and Ahuti Mishra, was given a huge welcome at a meeting at the town hall by different sports associations, District Athletic Association and other organisations.
