Mumbai Cricket Association to Name Lounges After Mantri, Tendulkar, Rahane and Boost Grassroots Fund
The Mumbai Cricket Association (MCA) has decided to honour former captains Madhav Mantri, Sachin Tendulkar, and Ajinkya Rahane by naming lounges or designated areas after them at Wankhede Stadium. A three-member committee will determine the specific locations, with Tendulkar's lounge likely near his statue. Additionally, the MCA plans to increase its grassroots cricket development fund from Rs 100 crore to Rs 500 crore over the next decade, distributing interest earnings to local clubs and schools to support cricket infrastructure and players.
