Mumbai coach Amol Muzumdar and chief selector Salil Ankola along with his committee members were keen observers as the city’s cricketers paraded their skills in the Padmakar Talim Shield T20 tournament at various grounds over the weekend. The event is viewed as good preparation for next month’s Syed Mushtaq Ali T20 tournament organised by the BCCI.

“Players were eager and excited to play because they’ve lost almost one-and-a-half years. We selectors are keen to see some extraordinary talent. MCA, its clubs and especially the groundsmen have done a commendable job by preparing good wickets at short notice,” Ankola told mid-day.
