Contracts to the domestic cricketers have been one of BCCI president Sourav Ganguly’s objectives. Although there has been no significant headway since he took over in 2019, MCA has perhaps shown the way for the Indian cricket board and other state associations to follow

The Mumbai Cricket Association (MCA) has become the first Indian state unit to introduce contracts for its domestic cricketers. The decision was taken in the MCA Apex Council meeting on Wednesday. It is a significant move to secure domestic cricketers.
“The Apex Council has unanimously agreed to introduce central contracts for our domestic players. We will entrust the CIC (Cricket Improvement Committee) to decide on details like the amount, who will qualify for it etc,” MCA president Dr Vijay Patil told mid-day.
