Monty Desai, while speaking to Amol Sonavane from CricketGraph mentioned, “It has been an exciting journey for the entire team from the day we landed here. Due to Covid guidelines the team did not get much time to practice & bond. However, we made the most of what we had, and I am thrilled with this win”.
Monty Desai, who resides in Mumbai and the current batting coach of West Indies national team further added, “Four players from our playing eleven, all 4 key bowlers including skipper Rayad Emrit, had to fly back to their hometown T&T, for selections OF Super 50, just before the semi-finals. It was great to see the universal boss, Chris Gayle, step up to bowl and pick up a wicket in the final match. Our top management including the team owner, Jayesh Patel, supported every decision during these times and ensured the safety & wellbeing of every player and staff member. Due to his relentless work in the backend, everything went of smooth, which helped players focus on the competition.
Monty Desai had to travel straight 60+ hours to join Atlanta Paramveers before the 3rd league game. Paramveers seemed to be in bad shape coz their performance in the 2nd league match was a disappointing one. Coach Monty, who is known for his FAB philosophy, implemented it with immediate effect and the results showed out.
F – Freedom to players to express themselves fearlessly both on & off the field.
A – Approach towards match situations with sincere role plays
B – Behavioral Consistency, by trying to remain calm & humble, despite the match outcome.
USA cricket has got a shot in the arm, with various rounds of investment & investors coming onboard to grow & promote cricket in the USA.

Top Batsman in terms of Average in MCA Practice Matches:
- Suryakumar Yadav: 240 runs in 3 innings @240.00 & strike rate of 220.18 (Hitting the ball as if its just a normal routine for him. The form which Suryakumar Yadav has been in, its simply phenomenal)
_____________________________________________
- Sarfaraz Khan: 163 runs in 4 matches @81.50 & strike rate of 203.50 (Once again Sarfaraz proves he is one vital cog in the shortest format too for Mumbai. Sarfaraz had all the shots in his book and played with great confidence. If his 33 ball 78* vs Team D is anything to go by, you can expect some good fireworks in this upcoming season.
_____________________________________________
- Sagar Mishra: 79 runs in 2 innings @79.00 & strike rate of 106.67
(The all-rounder who last played his domestic level match in 2015 has since then performed in all the top division tournaments including in T20 Mumbai. Sagar with some good all-round performance in practice matches just made the case stronger for his contentions.
_____________________________________________
- Akash Parkar- 74 runs in 3 innings @74.00 & strike rate of @160.81
Akash in whatever chances he has recieved has smashed quick unbeatean cameos down the order. The tall and powerful batsman can easily clear any ground with his brute strength and his strike rate of 160+ in 3 innings is quite a testimony.
__________________________________________________
- Shivam Dube: 114 runs in 3 matches @57.00 & strike rate of 183.87 (Mumbai is one team where all-rounders certainly have a healthy competition to make it into the playing XI. Shivam Dube- the hard hitting Indian all-rounder smashed a 23 ball 49 and chipped in with cameos in other 2 innings too)
_____________________________________________
- Yashashvi Jaiswal: 164 runs in 4 matches @54.67 & strike rate of 200.00 (Yashasvi has been enjoying a purple patch since last 2 seasons and nothing has changed since then. Jaiswal smashed an electrifying ton to probably seal his spot while also took on the bowlers with absolute disdain)
_____________________________________________
- Bhupen Lalwani: 54 runs in 1 match @54.00 & strike rate of 142.10
(Bhupen has been performing for Mumbai at all age groups. In the only match he got to play Bhupen came up with an impressive half century vs a quality bowling attack. Bhupen despite playing for Mumbai at all levels has been working hard to make it into the shorter formats.)
_____________________________________________
- Aakarshit Gomel: 122 runs in 4 innings @40.67 & strike rate of 152.50
(A solid batsman who proved he can be equally lethal with the white ball. Whether its T20 Mumbai, DY Patil T20 or the current T20 practice matches, Gomel has played at a great strike rate and has proved to be one dependable opener in T20’s.)
________________________________________________
- Raunaq Sharma– 67 runs in 2 innings @33.50 & Strike Rate of 128.53
Raunaq who is known to clear the ropes easily displayed his stroke making abilities smashing 5 sixes en-route his 42 ball 54 on 22nd Dec. In 2 matches he played, he came up with one half century.
________________________________________________
- Shubham Ranjane: 100 runs in 3 innings @33.33 & strike rate of 133.33 (Shubham with his cameos down the order has always been one utility cricketer for Mumbai.

_______________________________________
- Kevin Almeida: 80 runs in 3 innings @26.67 & strike rate of 126.98 (Even though the left-hander was off to a shaky start in his first few matches, Kevin proved his mettle with a fine 61 off 43 balls to help team C win by 3 wickets.
_________________________________________
- Siddhesh Lad: 102 runs in 4 innings @25.50 & strike rate of 141.67

Even though the Mumbai Team is all loaded with stalwarts like Surya, Sarfaraz, Shivam, Tare at the top of the order, the youngsters from the pool of Mumbai probables are also making a strong case to make it into the Mushtaq Ali squad.
In the practice match which was conducted on 22nd dec at Wankhede, it was Surya all over the place with a knock of 127 runs in 47 balls taking Team B to 213/5 in 19 overs. Team D even though lost the match by just 10 runs but really gave a strong fight vs a quality team which consisted bowlers like Tushar Deshpande, Khizar Dafedar, Vinayak Bhoir and Atif Attarwala. Opening the innings, Bhupen Lalwani scored a very confident looking 54 off 38 balls proving his grit that he is much more than a red ball opener. Bhupen even after scoring tons of runs for Mumbai at all age groups missed out even in the list of 150 players for T20 Mumbai & innings like this will not only give him but even the selectors some confidence.
Bhupen scored an aggressive 54 off 38 balls (3 fours ,3 sixes) while also stitched a 96 run stand with Sachin Yadav who made 47 runs at no.3. Sachin Yadav is another name who has been scoring runs whenever the opportunities have came by and he is also one player to watchout for. From the bowlers, it was again Tushar Deshpande, their strike bowler coming up with 2/29 in 4 overs while all-rounder Khizar impressing with a 3 wkt haul taking prized wickets of Aashay, Sachin and Bhupen.
Bhupen speaking with Cricketgraph shared “ I am really working hard to get selected in the shorter formats for Mumbai, I have scored runs at all age groups for Mumbai and I am thankful to selectors that i even got selected for Ranji Trophy last season. However, one thing which has eluded me is seeing myself in the white ball cricket for Mumbai. The ball was moving today and it was my 1st t20 match this year. I went on mark on the very 1st ball flicking the express tushar deshpande for a boundary and that gave me confidence to build my innings. Tushar was bowling really fast and it was really satisfying to score runs vs a quality bowling attack”
_____________________________________________
In the practice match between Team A VS Team A, Raunaq Sharma and Aditya Tare smashed composed half centuries at the top of the order. Tare opening the innings scored 51. Raunaq Sharma who is known for his clean hitting abilities scored an attacking 54 off 42 balls which had as many as 5 sixes. Raunaq has already showed in T20 Mumbai what he can do with the bat and an innings like this just adds icing on the cake. Raunaq and Aditya tare stitched 90 runs for the 2nd wicket taking their team to a decent total of 158/6 in 20 overs.
Chasing 159, it was again youngsters making a solid impact. Aakarshit Gomel who scored a century on Ranji Debut once again proved his white ball abilities with a fluent 65 off 43 balls (6 fours, 4 sixes). A knock which was not only a matured one but also which included some proper cricketing shots. India U19 Divyansh Saxena who opened from the other end also looked quite solid with a 34 ball 40 as both the young openers stitched a 98 run stand in 11.3 overs helping their team win by 8 wkts.
________________________________________________
In the practice match which was played at BKC Ground on 21st December, it was young all-rounder Sagar Mishra proving his point with all round contribution of 50* off 47 balls and 1/9 in 2 overs. Even though his team A lost the match courtesy a blazing 59 from Suryakumar, Sagar did left behind an impact with his all-round performance scoring a solid fifty at the middle order and stitching a crucial partnership with Sarfaraz Khan.

With cricketing season officially taking a mark, it’s time for Mumbai cricketers to prepare themselves for an intense season coming ahead. Before Syed Mushtaq Ali begins from January, Mumbai Cricket Association has arranged practice matches for the Mumbai pool of cricketers which will not only be an ideal platform for them to practice but also a good opportunity for selectors to observe the pool of junior as well as senior players.
The teams have been divided into 4 groups namely Team A, Team B, Team C & Team D. In the opening match which was played between Team C and Team D, it was Yashashvi who impressed one and all with fabulous striking. Chasing 184 against a spirited Team C, Yashashvi opening the innings scored a match winning 103* off 49 balls (8 fours, 8 sixes) cruising his team towards a comfortable win.
In the match played on 22nd December, it was again Suryakumar Yadav who played from Team B who signaled his pristine form with a mesmerizing knock of 120 runs in mere 47 balls. Played at Wankhede Stadium, Surya smashed 10 fours and 9 sixes simply toying with the bowling attack. On the other hand Team D gave a tough fight chasing 214 with Yashashvi Jaiswal (54) and Sachin Yadav (43) giving excellent starts at the top of the order. Team B won the practice match by 11 runs as Team D managed to reach 202/8 in 20 overs.

To succeed in Mumbai Cricket, you need to be at the top of your game and to be at the top of your game you need to undergo lots of hardwork on your skillset. In a city especially like Mumbai where competition is intense, the cricketers need a good setup for practice.

One of those areas of concern in Mumbai is Mira Bhayender which needs a boost in terms of cricketing facilities.

A total of 5 nets are under process where in 4 nets will be manually operated while one net will be equipped with bowling machine. Nandu Jadhav speaking with Cricketgraph shared “ Virar is one place where there are not enough cricket grounds, academies or facilities, we are trying to provide all the cricket facilities under one roof and now with this beautiful ground coupled with indoor nets, it will further boost and motivate the local cricketers to come & practice”
Divyaansh Saxena who was the highest scorer in India U19 World Cup’19 and also a prolific Mumbai U19 player was the chief guest invited to inauagrate the new ground at Uttan, Mira-Bhayandar.
