A day after Sachin Tendulkar slammed the BCCI for maintaining that the conflict of interest charges against him come under the "tractable" category, the batting icon pulled out the praise brush for his home cricket body - the Mumbai Cricket Association - for giving the forthcoming T20 Mumbai League a fillip with the addition of two teams.

Tendulkar, the League's ambassador, said at the launch of the second edition yesterday: "MCA has done a very good job in adding two teams. There will be new faces, there's going to be challenges also. Whatever interactions I had with my friends who play club cricket, the players have started preparing differently, training differently and practising different shots."
