Mumbai, April 14: The Mumbai Cricket Association (MCA) has received a record-breaking number of entries for the highly anticipated third edition of the T20 Mumbai League, with more than 2800 players registering for the tournament, scheduled to begin in May.
This unprecedented response highlights not only Mumbai's deep-rooted cricketing culture but also the growing stature of the T20 Mumbai League as a crucial platform for emerging talent.

Organised by the MCA, the T20 Mumbai League has, since its inception in 2018, established itself as one of India's premier domestic franchise-based T20 tournaments. The league has previously unearthed talents like Shivam Dube, Tushar Deshpande, and Shams Mulani, who have gone on to make their mark at higher levels of the game.
After a six-year hiatus, the return of the league in 2025 has created a buzz across the city's cricketing circuit. The massive response to the registration drive, which received entries from all corners of Mumbai, reflects the renewed excitement and hope among local cricketers. Eligible players will now be shortlisted for the much-awaited player auction.
"The response to Season 3 of the T20 Mumbai League has been phenomenal. The fact that over 2800 players have registered speaks volumes about both the popularity of the league and the undying cricket passion of Mumbaikars. We are thrilled to see such enthusiastic participation and remain committed to nurturing the next generation of cricket stars," said Abhay Hadap, Secretary of the Mumbai Cricket Association.
Season 3 will feature the return of six well-known franchises: North Mumbai Panthers, ARCS Andheri, Triumph Knights Mumbai North East, Namo Bandra Blasters, Eagle Thane Strikers, and Aakash Tigers Mumbai Western Suburbs. In addition, two new teams will join the fray, adding fresh rivalries and new storylines to the league's exciting narrative.
With the auction and team preparations on the horizon, the countdown to Mumbai's biggest T20 cricket extravaganza has truly begun.
