The city that never sleeps has produced some of the finest cricketers in the history of Indian cricket. The Mumbai Champs will aspire to replicate these achievements and live up to tradition. They will be coached by Sandeep Patil and will be led by West Indian great Brian Lara when they compete for the coveted inaugural ICL Twenty20 Championships.

The Champs also have in their lineup New Zealand great Nathan Astle, who is one of the Black Caps’ most successful batsman of all-time, especially in the shorter version of the game. They also have the destructive English opening batsman Vikram Solanki and South African all-rounder Johan van der Wath in their star studded assemble.

Prolific run-scorers like Robin Morris and Dheeraj Jadhav are also an integral component of the Champs team. Jadhav has in the past come desperately close to representing the national team on a few occasions. Rakesh Patel, Anupam Sanklecha and South Africa’s Nantie Hayward will comprise of the pace battery.
