MCA approves monthly gratis for the widows of former First-Class Mumbai cricketers

The Hindu  

The Mumbai Cricket Association apex council has approved a monthly gratis for the widows of First-Class cricketers who represented Mumbai. The decision comes in the wake of former Mumbai cricketer Milind Rege’s letter to the MCA president and other office-bearers requesting the association to restart the pension for his widowed sister Pushpa Diwadkar, whose husband Sharad Diwadkar passed away in 2005. In August, 2020, Mrs. Diwadkar had written to the MCA requesting pension as the BCCI does not have such a provision for the widows of First-Class cricketers. In his letter, Rege had also requested the cricket body to introduce a gradation system to provide pension to the widows of former Mumbai First-Class cricketers.
