For Kerala's women cricketers and those waiting to turn into one, the International Day of the World's Indigenous Peoples which is celebrated on Wednesday is keenly awaited, as Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan's government will honour Minnu Mani, who figured into record books by becoming the first women cricketer from Kerala to represent India. The International Day of the World's Indigenous Peoples is observed on August 9 each year to raise awareness and protect the rights of the world's indigenous population.
