Vengsarkar, who is mentor of T20 Mumbai League, was speaking after organisers Mumbai Cricket Association anunced its second season which will begin from May 14. League's ambassador Sachin Tendulkar and mentor Sunil Gavaskar were also present.

Tendulkar too praised League. 

"T20 Mumbai League is soon going to be a league that most of players from across nation will want to participate in. For so many years, (way) Ranji Trophy team has played, if given a choice a number of players would have wanted to be part of Mumbai Ranji Trophy because brand of cricket was different and everyone wanted to be part of it," said Tendulkar.

Tendulkar also said Mumbai still has eugh talent.

"I don't think we are down in dumps at all. re have been occasions where we have gone to semis and final (in Ranji Trophy). I feel with this T20 League's performance, as Mr (Sunil) Gavaskar put it correctly, a number of careers started.

"I think 4-5 players were picked up by IPL teams to represent ir teams. I think it's a beginning when we compare ourselves to someone like Punjab who has 14 players playing for various teams (in IPL). I am sure we can get re. We have got good talent here in Mumbai cricket. It is all about opportunities and I keep coming back to that," he said.

Gavaskar urged MCA authorities to schedule league before IPL auction.

"Shivam Dube got an IPL contract after (playing in T20 Mumbai League), Suryakumar Yadav also got a big contract and I am pretty certain that re will be many more coming from this league, who will be wanted by IPL franchises for next season," said Gavaskar
