The Mumbai Cricket Association (MCA) is set to expand the vibrant landscape of the T20 Mumbai League by inviting bids for the operation of two new teams in its upcoming third season.
Established in 2018, the T20 Mumbai League has quickly risen to prominence as one of India’s emerging franchise-based T20 competitions.
The third season, which marks the return of the league after a six-year hiatus, is scheduled to commence on May 27. It will feature eight franchises, including the returning favorites North Mumbai Panthers, ARCS Andheri, Triumph Knights Mumbai North East, Namo Bandra Blasters, Eagle Thane Strikers, and Aakash Tigers Mumbai Western Suburbs, along with two new teams yet to be announced.
The T20 Mumbai League has been credited for nurturing cricketing talent, having produced notable players such as Yashasvi Jaiswal, Shivam Dube, Tushar Deshpande, and Shams Mulani.
MCA Secretary Abhay Hadap expressed enthusiasm for the future of the league, especially with the addition of two new teams.
“As we welcome new franchise owners, we see this as an opportunity to further strengthen the league’s legacy. Their involvement will be instrumental in shaping the next phase of T20 Mumbai League, bringing fresh vision and investment that will enhance opportunities for players, stakeholders, and cricket fans alike. We look forward to engaging with potential bidders who share our vision for the league’s future,” he said.
The MCA said that the interested parties can obtain the bid document from the MCA office at Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai.
The documents are available for collection until April 7, from 11 AM to 6 PM, for a non-refundable payment of ₹1 lakh via demand draft in favor of the Mumbai Cricket Association.
