“We are pleased to open the MCA Sharad Pawar Cricket Museum to cricket fans. The Wankhede Stadium is the home of Indian cricket, and Mumbai is the cricketing capital of the country. Some of the greatest cricketers of all time have honed their skills on the maidans of the city and subsequently represented either India or Mumbai with distinction at the Wankhede Stadium. Mumbai’s record in the Ranji Trophy, India’s premier domestic cricket competition, speaks for itself. The museum showcases memorabilia that tells the story of Mumbai cricket and its cricketers. Cricket fans will also have the option of reliving memories by visiting the Wankhede Stadium, which has hosted some extraordinary matches over the decades,” Ajinkya Naik, President, MCA, said.
“The Mumbai Cricket Association has had a glorious history. The success of Mumbai’s cricketers at the domestic and international levels is the outcome of teamwork. The cricketers have been complemented by several individuals, who displayed diligence and professionalism off the field. They include administrators, coaches, curators, statisticians and the media, among others. The Museum and Museum+Stadium tours will give cricket fans the opportunity to learn more about the individuals who shaped Mumbai cricket,” Abhay Hadap, Secretary, MCA, stated.
