Say hello to MI New York’s picks at the Major League Cricket draft ahead of the 2025 season. We’ve got a nice mix of youth and experience to join our stellar retained players. Let’s meet them: * Agni Chopra: A stylish left-handed batter who holds the unique record for scoring four centuries in his first four First Class matches, a feat he achieved with Mizoram in the 2023-24 season of the Ranji Trophy. This Detroit-born run-machine boasts of a First Class average of 94.94! * Kunwarjeet Singh: Playing for the Baltimore Royals in Minor Cricket League, Kunwarjeet Singh, is a big-hitting left-handed middle-order batter. * Sharad Lumba: An experienced right-handed batter who’s played a large part of his cricket for Punjab. He’s no stranger to the #OneFamily, having been part of the Mumbai Indians squad in the 2018 IPL season. * Tajinder Singh: An off-spinner who doubles up as a useful lower-order hitter, Tajinder Singh too has had a taste of the #OneFamily during his stint with Mumbai Indians in the 2018 IPL season. First Class cricket with Rajasthan in the Indian domestic circuit and two seasons with the San Francisco Unicorns are on his playing CV. 

We’re just under six months away from the USA cricket carnival kicking off. We fought tooth and nail in the 2024 season and pulled off an epic last-second entry into the playoffs. Although we couldn’t ensure a repeat of 2023, it was a special campaign. Today is Retention Day, and it always leaves us with mixed feelings. Let’s start with the happy ones. Here are the MI New York players retained for MLC 2025:Ehsan AdilNosthush Kenjige Monank Patel Heath Richards Rushil Ugarkar (Rookie) Sunny Patel   This means MI New York go into the MLC 2025 Draft with a purse of USD 160,000, and would need to make a minimum of three picks and would be allowed a maximum of four picks. With a heavy heart, we say thank you and wish the best to the other USA players we had in our mix.
