Why are elite educational institutions in south Mumbai - many of which have been modelled on the British public school - no longer fostering cricketing talent, asks Ayaz Memon, writing in the Hindustan Times.
Increasingly, Mumbai's cricket talent comes from the distant suburbs and while it is wonderful that more players are getting a chance, it makes one wonder whether the elite schools of south Mumbai are becoming too effete to compete with the vigour required? It seems that unless your parents are members of some fancy club, your exposure to sports goes no further than the television.
