July 23 will be celebrated as Sunil Gavaskar Day in Leicester, United Kingdom from now on. The announcement was made by British parliamentarian of Indian-origin Keith Vaz on Saturday when Bharat Sports and Cricket Club, which participates in the Leicester league, named their ground after the Indian batting icon.
Although the landscape is similar to a countryside cricket field, there are plans to make it a modern stadium soon. The pictures of the proposed stadium are on the walls of their clubhouse. “I hope it would be a complete stadium before my next visit here,” Gavaskar remarked as he was garlanded and provided a guard of honour by the club cricketers during the inauguration ceremony.
