BCCI Secretary Devajit Saikia expressed hopes for India's women's cricket team to capture their first ICC championship during the upcoming tournament beginning September 30. The board official praised recent competitive performances against Australia and England that demonstrated growing parity with top-ranked nations. Guwahati will host the opening ceremony before India faces Sri Lanka in the inaugural match. The Assam Cricket Association plans special arrangements to honor recently deceased musician Zubeen Garg through a dedicated tribute program.

Singer Shreya Ghoshal will perform during the ceremony and mid-innings break, presenting popular songs alongside the tournament's official theme. The Indian women's squad has never claimed an ICC trophy despite recent achievements against established cricket powers. Saikia highlighted England series victories on foreign soil as evidence of the team's advancement. Australia narrowly defeated India 2-1 in their latest series, demonstrating competitive balance between the sides. The secretary filed his nomination at BCCI headquarters while discussing tournament preparations and team prospects.
