Rahane and Dr Aadil Chagla, a keen club cricketer, interacted with groundsmen and shared valuable insights. “The MCA has undertaken a commendable initiative. You, the groundsmen are vital to Mumbai cricket. Regardless of which teams come to play, your contributions will always be significant,” Rahane said.
Dr Chagla spoke about how the groundsmen should take care of their health.
Meanwhile, MCA also felicitated its former office bearers and managing committee members in the evening. MCA’s ex-vice president Prof Ratnakar Shetty advised current MCA officials to chalk out a road map for the next 25 years.
“I would like the [MCA] Apex Council to set an agenda for the next 25 years as to what you want to be. And not merely winning the Ranji Trophy… winning Ranji Trophy is our goal and it’s a priority for MCA, but apart from that, developing cricket both for men and women and children, I think you have to set an agenda for that for the next 25 years,” Shetty said while addressing the gathering.
