The 20 selected players will receive: - Complete access to the NCC's facilities to support regular practice and skill development - Coaching by Mumbai Cricket Association (MCA)-certified coaches and staff - Opportunities to visit international clubs for immersive learning and exposure - Opportunities to build a career in cricket and also, pursue selection for prestigious MCA tournaments, including the Mumbai T20 League - Future opportunities like playing for the Ranji Trophy and the Indian team
A Vision for Inclusive Cricket
Commenting on the initiative, Rajdip Gupta, President of National Cricket Club and Chairman of Mumbai T20 League Governing Council, said,“India has a great cricketing culture. If we want to lead world cricket consistently, we need a more inclusive foundation for players from different walks of life.

We are confident that this programme will create a meaningful pathway for these players to progress in the sport.”
