As the IPL season nears its end, the Mumbai Cricket Association (MCA) has announced the schedule for the T20 Mumbai League (TML) from June 4 to 12, amidst the monsoon. The declaration has sparked interest among cricket enthusiasts and the city’s talented players eager to showcase their skills. TML’s franchise owners are excited too, though they may be wary of rain affecting the league which could deter sponsors.
