The home of Indian cricket is represented by the Mumbai Champs in the Indian Cricket League (ICL). Led by the legendary Brain Lara, the Champs would look at improving their performance in comparison to their two previous outings at the Indian cricket league. The batting department for the Champs has clicked so far with some high scores in both the inaugural ICL 20s championship & the ICL 50s but it's their bowling which has led them down. The star studded team of Mumbai Champs did not deliver what was needed of them during the recently concluded ICL 20-20 Indian Championship 2007-08.
Mumbai Champs includes international cricket stars like Mervin Dillon, Vikram Solanki, Nathan Astle, and JJ Van der Wath in the team. The role of coach is given to Sandeep Patil, erstwhile cricketer from India. Other players in Mumbai Champs team include players like Subhojit Paul, Avinash Yadav, Kiran Powar, Pushkaraj Joshi, Ranjeet Kirid. Though this team failed to perform when required, next time they hopefully will try to prove a point.
The Indian Cricket League ICL Team Mumbai Champs
Coach: Sandeep Patil
Captain: Brian Lara (WI)
Squad: Nathan Astle (NZ), Mervin Dillon (WI), Vikram Solanki (Eng), Nantie Hayward (SA), J Van der Wath (SA), Robin Morris, Kiran Powar, Anupam Sanklecha, Subhojit Paul, Pushkaraj Joshi, Nikhil Mandale, Rakesh Patel, Shreyas Khanolkar, Suyash Burkul, Dheeraj Jadhav, Ranjeet Kirid, Raviraj Patil, Avinash Yadav, and Sridher Iyer.
With the inclusion of the fiery West Indian pacer Tino Best and the accurate Michel Kasprowicz, the bowling looks beefed up to take on the competition. With promising all-rounders Robin Morris and Kiran Powar & the inform batsman Dheeraj Jadhav in their line up, the Champs look all set to restore their supremacy in the Indian Cricket League.
