The fourth edition of the Maharashtra Cricket Association’s (MCA) Maharashtra Premier League (MPL) is unlikely to take place in June this year. The six-team T20 tournament provides opportunities for promising players to get selected in Maharashtra’s T20 team for the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy besides getting noticed by IPL talent scouts.

As Mumbai High Court stayed elections of the Maharashtra Cricket Association last January, retired Justice GA Sanap has been appointed as MCA’s Administrator. “I think the MCA Administrator called all team owners and had meetings regarding MPL, but it will take some time to come to a decision. How can you start the tournament within a month, on June 10, when there is no planning,” a source told mid-day on Monday.
