The third edition of the T20 Mumbai League, one of India’s top franchise-based domestic T20 competitions, will be held at Mumbai’s Wankhede Stadium from May 26 to June 8 following a six-year hiatus.

Sarfaraz Khan, Tushar Deshpande, Shivam Dube, Prithvi Shaw, and Shardul Thakur have joined the list of legendary players. The remarkable depth of talent in Mumbai’s cricketing pipeline is demonstrated by the fact that all eight players have played at the highest level for India.

We are honoured to introduce eight legendary athletes whose accomplishments on the national and international stages have greatly elevated Mumbai’s stature. They embody the essence, heritage, and brilliance of Mumbai cricket. As we continue to be dedicated to finding and developing the next generation of Indian cricketing stars, their presence will not only encourage and coach up-and-coming talent but also provide them with a priceless educational experience. Additionally, having these players in the league will boost its reputation and give spectators an exciting and unforgettable experience, according to MCA President Ajinkya Naik.

In order to give their lineups more star power and experience, each franchise will be permitted to choose one icon player to join them. The auction date will soon be announced by the MCA.
