Former India batsman Pravin Amre has stressed on the importance of club loyalty among cricketers and wants to see them walk the talk with this aspect to help their respective teams win the prestigious Dr HD Kanga Cricket League. “I had only one club on my MCA card, which was Shivaji Park Gymkhana (SPG), who gave me an opportunity to play in the ‘A’ Division when I was an U-19 cricketer. This was a big thing for me.

“Everyone wants to play for Mumbai, but if you are loyal to your club, you will get the opportunity to perform and help your club win,” Amre said while addressing cricketers as chief guest of the Kanga League prize distribution function at the Wankhede Stadium on Monday. MIG Cricket Club, who emerged ‘A’ Division champions in 2018-19 and 2023-24, received their pending rewards. Parkophene Cricketers (2017-18) and PJ Hindu Gymkhana (2019-20) were also handed their premier division champions trophies on Monday.
