The Mumbai Cricket Association (MCA) is set to introduce some unique measures including starting a structured graduation programme for cricketers, in collaboration with Mumbai University, and sending youngsters on exposure tours to United Kingdom.
The MCA has also decided to restart its T20 Mumbai League from May 27, bringing to an end a wait of almost six years after it was last held in 2019.
These decisions were taken during the MCA’s apex council meeting here on Wednesday.
Among the most significant decisions, the MCA said it will introduce a graduation programme tailored for cricketers.
“The program will emphasize practical training, ensuring that aspiring players receive comprehensive hands-on experience. This initiative aims to equip young cricketers with the necessary skills to excel at professional levels while also providing academic qualifications,” the MCA said in a press release.
In a move to nurture and provide exposure to young talent, MCA will identify and select promising emerging players for a UK tour.
The initiative is designed to offer the players invaluable experience of international playing conditions and competitive matches against high-caliber opposition.
This exposure will play a crucial role in their development and preparation for future challenges at higher levels, the cricket body said.
