Mumbai, March 15: The Mumbai Cricket Association (MCA) has officially launched the women’s version of the T20 Mumbai League. This decision comes after three successful seasons of the men’s league. Rohit Sharma, the face of the league, unveiled the trophy for both the men’s and women’s upcoming editions in Mumbai on Saturday.
Rohit expressed his delight at the rising standards of Mumbai cricket. He noted that the league is not just limited to the IPL teams; the T20 Mumbai League has provided numerous young players with opportunities to excel. Many players who started in this league have progressed to IPL teams and even the Indian national team. According to him, this league has become a significant platform for players to prove themselves.
He also mentioned that it is fantastic to see this tournament return after last season’s remarkable success. Having been involved in the previous season, he acknowledged the challenges of organizing such an event. The MCA deserves credit for making this league a success. This year, the tournament has expanded to include three women’s teams, providing a great opportunity for women’s cricket to advance.
Indian women’s cricketer Sayali Satghare stated, “This is a big platform. I thank the MCA for starting this league for women. I hope more teams will join in the future, giving girls more opportunities. Cricket is like a religion in Mumbai. You can find children playing cricket at any time of the day on the fields. The MCA provides a great opportunity.”
However, the Mumbai Indians Association has yet to announce the tournament schedule. Last season, the tournament took place in June, right after the IPL, featuring several star players from Mumbai, including Rohit Sharma and Suryakumar Yadav.
