Cheteshwar Pujara, the pillar of Indian Test cricket, and Harmanpreet Kaur, the driving force of India's women's cricket, have been nominated for the Arjuna award by the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI), according to PTI reports.
"We have sent Cheteshwar and Harmanpreet's name for the Arjuna award. The names have been forwarded to the Ministry of Sports," a senior BCCI official informed PTI on Thursday (August 3).
"Both have been exceptional performers during last season and were unanimous choice from our end," he added. The BCCI, however, haven't recommended any names for Rajiv Gandhi Khel Ratna award, the highest sporting honour of the country.
