MUMBAI: In a strong step to curb boorish player behaviour during local matches, the Mumbai Cricket Association has barred Parsee Gymkhana and MIG CC-two reputed cricket clubs of the city- from participating in the MCA's senior tournaments for the remainder of the 2023-24 season, after players from both the teams were involved in a physical altercation during their quarterfinal match of the MCA President Cup T20 on March 23.
Many of Mumbai's top players-India's T20 star bat Suryakumar Yadav, left-arm spinner Shams Mulani, pacer Tushar Deshpande and former Mumbai captain Aditya Tare represent Parsee Gymkhana in local cricket. In recent years, the club has won plenty of titles. Both Parsee Gymkhana and MIG CC were barred from further participation in the MCA President T20 Cup, which meant that Victory CC ended up playing in the tournament's semifinals on Sunday.
