The T20 Mumbai League is all set to make a grand return in 2025 after a six-year hiatus, with Indian cricket star and Mumbai’s own Rohit Sharma roped in as the brand ambassador. Organised by the Mumbai Cricket Association (MCA), the league was last held in 2019 before being suspended due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
The upcoming season, scheduled to begin after the IPL 2025 concludes on May 25, will feature eight teams and over 2,800 registered players. While six of the franchises from the previous editions will return, two new teams are expected to be unveiled soon.
Although participation is not mandatory, the MCA is optimistic about the involvement of top Mumbai cricketers. Alongside Rohit Sharma, big names like Suryakumar Yadav, Shreyas Iyer, Ajinkya Rahane, Shivam Dube, Tushar Deshpande, and Prithvi Shaw are likely to feature in the league.
The MCA is also planning to offer around ₹15 lakh to each icon player, which is expected to draw further attention and credibility to the tournament.
An MCA official told PTI, “Their presence will boost Mumbai cricket and add value to the league.”
