THE Mumbai Cricket Association (MCA) is set to become the first Indian cricket body with a full-fledged museum to showcase memorabilia from legends. The museum proposal has been prepared by former MCA president Ravi Savant and has got an "in-principle" approval from Sharad Pawar, the former ICC, BCCI and MCA chief.

The plan will now be put up before the MCA's Apex Council for its consent. An area measuring 10,000 sq feet adjacent to the Garware Club House has been reserved for the museum. It will also house the famous Dr HD Kanga Memorial library and a mini-theatre. The Garware Club House is a part of the Wankhede Stadium, where India won the 2011 World Cup.
