Former national chief selector and currently mentor of ARCS Andheri team, Sandeep Patil wants his team to make a statement in the second edition of T20 Mumbai League beginning May 14. Patil, who has guided many a state and international team — including Kenya, who reached the 2003 World Cup semi-final — was seen assessing each ARCS player during his team's practice game from the Karnatak Sporting Association's tent at Cross Maidan on Wednesday.

ARCS ended at the bottom of the points table in the inaugural edition last year and Patil was clear on what the outfit have to do this year. "There are expectations to play good cricket, to make a statement, make a mark. No team will want to lose and no player wants to fail. We are trying our best to make a positive statement. It's an opportunity for everyone to contribute," Patil told mid-day.
