Mr Arman Mallick – Treasurer of Mumbai Cricket Association (MCA), commented “I am extremely happy to witness the scale at which NMPL was organised, given the fact that Mumbai Premier League (MPL) has been on a pause over the last 3 years. This event makes us proud that even if we were not able to conduct MPL, atleast Navi
Mumbai Premier League (NMPL) went through. It is a great honor for us. RML has done a excellent job by sponsoring a great event which is fully successful. I am thankful to them.”
Mr. Sanjay Naik – Vice President of Mumbai Cricket Association (MCA) commented “Organising an event, and that too of this scale, is not easy. The event was highlighted by excellent facilities which matches the best in Mumbai. The teams were more cohesive in this season. We gave every athlete a chance and the players put up a big show as compared to the last time. This event has provided a platform to players from the Navi Mumbai and Thane region, who otherwise lack the chance to showcase their talent. With the event being showcased on media like Euro Sport, Doordarshan and Fancode etc, it will make a big difference to these players.”
“This event has been super successful,” commented Mr Shahalam Shaikh, Chairman of Navi Mumbai Premier League (NMPL). “What more can I say, but feel proud, after being complemented by an Mumbai Cricket Association (MCA) office bearer this event was like IPL! With our continued efforts and support from sponsors like Rose Merc Ltd (RML), I remain confident to see a much bigger and better Season 3 going forward. It’s a big accomplishment for us to have got 20 IPL and 20 Ranji Trophy players playing in Season 2. This would not have been possible without the relentless support by Rose Merc Ltd (RML). I would not be surprised to see a few more players getting to play the IPL post Season 3”
