Mumbai, April 6 The Mumbai Cricket Association (MCA) on Monday commenced its High Performance Camp under the guidance of former India captain and chief selector Dilip Vengsarkar.
A total of 25 high-performing players, each from the men's and women's categories, have been selected to participate in this intensive three-week programme. These players were identified based on their consistent performances across BCCI tournaments.
The camp is designed to nurture emerging talent and further strengthen Mumbai's cricketing pipeline.
The initiative will also feature specialized skill-based training sessions conducted by former India cricketers Nilesh Kulkarni and Sameer Dighe, who will work closely with players to enhance specific aspects of their game.
"In addition to on-field training, the camp includes a comprehensive development programme with expert sessions by sports psychologists, nutritionists, financial planners, and sleep management professionals. These sessions aim to equip players with the knowledge and tools required to excel both on and off the field," said the MCA in a release.
The High Performance Camp is an initiative of the Cricket Improvement Committee (CIC) and the Apex Council, aimed at supporting Mumbai's top-performing cricketers and helping them excel at the highest level.
The camp will also serve as a crucial platform for identifying talent for the upcoming UK tour, with standout performers earning selection.
"The MCA High Performance Camp reflects our commitment to building a strong future for Mumbai cricket. By bringing together top performers across age groups and providing them with access to expert guidance, both on and off the field, we aim to create well-rounded cricketers ready for the next level," said MCA president Ajinkya Naik.
