NDB Bank recently joined hands with the Mercantile Cricket Association (MCA) for the first time to sponsor the MCA ‘C’ division 50-Over League Tournament 2020.
The tournament for the third year around will be conducted with all the paraphernalia used for a One Day International with the NDB Trophy being presented to the ultimate winner.
NDB has been working closely with the MCA for the past 25 years, with the bank’s own cricket team playing at the venue and participating in tournaments.
As in the past few years this year too, the MCA will conduct its highly successful MCA 50-over cricket tournament for the selected firms with almost 300 players billed to take part. The total number of teams expected to participate is 12.
The tournament is scheduled to commence in the third week of January, and will be staged at some of the leading top level venues in the country including the MCA. The Mercantile Cricket Association (MCA) has arranged trophies to be given to Winners, Runner-Up, Best Batsman, Best Bowler and the Most Valuable Player (Player of the Tournament) of the tournaments. In addition players of the champions and runner-up teams will be given certificates.
