Having taken over the reins of the Maharashtra Cricket Association (MCA) in January, Rohit Pawar has made the most of his Powerplay. Not only has his dispensation revived the Maharashtra Premier League (MPL), but Pune, the MCA headquarters, has been awarded five matches in the 2023 ICC Men’s World Cup.
In this freewheeling chat conducted on the sidelines of the MPL final, Mr. Pawar, who is also an MLA and third-generation leader from the bastions of Baramati, spelt out his vision for the MCA and responded to allegations of dynasty politics having trickled into cricket administration.
