Great initiative by MCA, but I wish they'd extend the registration deadline. 7 days seems too short for players to prepare their documents and register properly.

The league's comeback after 6 years is long overdue. Hope MCA maintains consistency now. Mumbai deserves regular high-quality cricket at this level.

As a cricket mom, I appreciate platforms like these for young players. My son's coach says this is the best way to get noticed by selectors. Fingers crossed!
