The emphasis on restructuring the tournaments was to ensure there are equal opportunities for all teams and there are no duplications of similar formats. It will now be a league format with a fixed calendar set well in advance. “Cricket leagues across the world are getting streamlined and professionalised. We also needed a similar system in place.u00a0



We are not undermining the contributions of earlier formats to Mumbai cricket, but we felt the change was a necessity,” Savant said on the sidelines of a meeting with club secretaries and plot holders to discuss and clarify any issues pertaining to the new format.

“Initially there was resistance, but I did not get deterred. In fact, that made us more determined. We could do this because we were convinced that this is for the betterment of our cricket,” added Savant.
