The Mumbai Cricket Association held elections that concluded with Ajinkya Naik securing his position as President for another term. Although Naik was initially elected unanimously during a council meeting, opposition from an Ashish Shelar-led panel triggered a formal voting process. Naik's faction won decisively with 12 votes against Shelar's four. The association also elected new members to its Apex Council through voting by 362 association members. In the T20 Mumbai competition leadership, Bharat Kini emerged victorious over Kishore Jain to oversee meetings. Naik credited the victory to support from Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis and Sharad Pawar, dedicating the win to Mumbai's cricket clubs, secretaries, and players. Nine new members joined the Apex Council, selected through the electoral process to serve the association for the upcoming term.
