Sachin Tendulkar's suggestion of giving more than 11 players an opportunity in a match has finally been accepted by the Mumbai Cricket Association (MCA) and the unique concept will be implemented in the inaugural Bhaskar Thakur Memorial U-12 selection trial tournament.

The tournament, which will be played on a league-cum-knockout basis, begins on February 12 at Cross Maidan, Shivaji Park and Virar. Every squad can use 14 players who will be rotated by the captain if needed.
