“Today we have received a letter from the MCA regarding Sachin Tendulkar’s concept. We will circulate the letter to all the cricket-playing schools and to our committee members. We will provide feedback to the MCA accordingly. This process will take at least two months,” MSSA secretary HS Bhor.
Tendulkar had approached MCA president Sharad Pawar for approval after the Technical Committee had rejected his plan.
