The Indian women’s cricket squad have been nominated for the prestigious 2026 Laureus World Team of the Year Award following their maiden World Cup title triumph. The nomination was confirmed today by Laureus Sport. They are the first women’s cricket team to receive this nomination, a recognition for their exceptional performance in the ICC Women’s World Cup 2025, including the highest successful run chase in women’s ODI history in a semi-final win against Australia.
The Harmanpreet Kaur-led women’s team is nominated alongside major teams like the England Women’s football team, the French football league’s Paris Saint-Germain, and McLaren Formula One.
The women’s team joins a select group of Indian athletes nominated for the main Laureus categories, including Vinesh Phogat, Neeraj Chopra, and Rishabh Pant.
