The Mumbai Cricket Association (MCA) announced India captain Rohit Sharma as the official face of the third season of the T20 Mumbai League.
The T20 Mumbai League is set to return with its third edition on May 26. Returning after six years, the league has recorded over 2800 player registrations, reflecting strong interest and its continued relevance as a platform for emerging cricket talent in Mumbai.
Season 3 will feature eight teams, including existing franchises—North Mumbai Panthers, ARCS Andheri, Triumph Knights Mumbai North East, Namo Bandra Blasters, Eagle Thane Strikers, and Aakash Tigers Mumbai Western Suburbs.
First launched in 2018, the league has previously helped spotlight players such as Shivam Dube, Tushar Deshpande, and Shams Mulani, who have gone on to higher levels of professional cricket.
Ajinkya Naik, President, Mumbai Cricket Association, said, “We are proud to announce Rohit Sharma as the face of the T20 Mumbai League. His remarkable achievements and journey reflects the core values of Mumbai cricket—grit, determination, hard work, and ambition. His association with the league will not only inspire aspiring cricketers but also elevate the league’s stature.”
Rohit Sharma said, “Our domestic structure has always been the foundation of Indian cricket’s success. Leagues like T20 Mumbai play a significant role in that journey. They serve as platforms that uncover new talent and provide young players with the exposure they need. Mumbai has a rich cricketing legacy, and we’ve seen some incredible players emerge from here. It’s great to see the league’s return, and I’m excited to be a part of it. I’d encourage every youngster to grab this opportunity and leave their mark. I’m confident the third season will be a memorable experience — not just for the players, but for the fans as well.”
The Mumbai Cricket Association (MCA) has also confirmed two new team operators—Roadway Solutions India Infra, which secured rights for Sobo Mumbai Falcons for ₹82 crore, and Royal Edge Sports & Entertainment, which acquired the Mumbai South Central franchise for ₹57 crore.
