The Mumbai Cricket Association (MCA) has witnessed an unprecedented surge of interest ahead of the third edition of the T20 Mumbai League, receiving a record-breaking 2800+ player registrations. Set to begin in May, the tournament marks a significant comeback for one of the country’s most promising domestic T20 competitions.
This remarkable response underscores not only Mumbai’s undying passion for cricket but also the growing reputation of the T20 Mumbai League as a breeding ground for emerging talent. The league, launched in 2018, has consistently served as a launchpad for cricketers aspiring to make it big in professional cricket. Notable alumni like Shivam Dube, Tushar Deshpande, and Shams Mulani have all transitioned from the T20 Mumbai League to the national and IPL stages, thanks to their impressive outings in previous seasons.
