Former Indian cricketer Jhulan Goswami has written a heartfelt letter to her idol, Diana Edulji.

"It's a proud moment for women's cricket in our country and for India as a whole that you are being inducted into the ICC Hall of Fame. Your contributions over the years have been immense. It's not an exaggeration to say that the game would not be where it is in India without all your efforts," wrote Goswami."It's a proud moment for women's cricket in our country and for India as a whole that you are being inducted into the ICC Hall of Fame.

"I remember playing in a tournament against Railways, but you did not play that game. I was just so excited to get the opportunity to meet you. After the game, I asked you what you thought of my bowling, and you told me about the hard work it would take to make it as an international. Five years later, I made my debut for India, and it was fitting that you were one of the national selectors. From there, our relationship often involved you giving me advice when I was struggling, picking out what I needed to work on. Every time you made a point, it would turn out to be valid. We did not always agree on everything but by the end, we always ended up on the same page. And I always knew that you had the same goal in mind, even if we sometimes had different ways of getting there,” wrote Goswami..
