Former India captain Ajinkya Rahane will inaugurate the second edition of MCA’s Cricket Kit Fair, scheduled for January 17 and 18 in Mumbai.
The first fair, held last year, featured several top cricket equipment manufacturers who participated in the initiative by the Mumbai Cricket Association.
“The response from the first edition was tremendous, encouraging us to continue with it. It helps players from various age groups as they can purchase cricket equipment directly from manufacturers at prices up to 30-50 per cent lower,” MCA president Ajinkya Naik told PTI.
Meanwhile, the Mumbai squad for the second round of the Ranji Trophy is expected to be announced on Saturday.
India opener Yashasvi Jaiswal, who previously played for Mumbai in the Ranji
Trophy and appeared in the Vijay Hazare Trophy, is expected to be available for their away game against Hyderabad starting January 22.
Jaiswal is currently part of the India ODI team set to face New Zealand in the series decider in Indore on Sunday. However, he has not been included in the squad for the five-match T20I series against the Kiwis.
