Mumbai Cricket Assocation
Mumbai Cricket Association or MCA is the sole governing body for cricket administration in Mumbai, Navi Mumbai and Thane district. MCA is affiliated and permanent member of Board of Control for Cricket in India or BCCI. Its primary responsibility is to organize premier cricket tournaments across city jurisdiction and help groom cricketing talents.
MCA headquarters
While there are many cricket associations across India who have been assigned same responsibilities as MCA, but Mumbai Cricket. The proof of how powerful and influential it is is simply vindicated by the fact that headquarters of BCCI is located inside the premise of MCA’s office.
One simply cannot afford to overlook MCA’s rich contribution to Indian cricket. After all, during its 83 years of illustrious administration it has given 68 test & ODI players to Indian cricket. Amongst them include the likes of Sunil Gavaskar, Dilip Vengsarkar, Ajit Wadekar and of course very own master blaster Sachin Tendulkar.
Amongst these two Wankhede stadium is the most prominent one and has hosted dozens of test as well as ODI matches. The idea of iconic and world class Wankhede stadium was laid by late S.K Wankhede, who is also credited for setting up Navi Mumbai Sports Association, which today is one of the premier sports coaching institution of the country.
MCA’s post of President is indeed very coveted one, as MCA is one of the most powerful sporting institutions in the country. No less then former Chief Ministers of Maharashtra and Cabinet Ministers in Government of India have contested for MCA’s President Post.
