Mumbai Cricket Association: A special lunch for the unsung heroes of Mumbai cricket, the groundsmen managing the various cricket fields, a felicitation of all past and present cricketers from the city and a glitzy and grand Bollywood-style musical night -- these are some of the major events planned by the Mumbai Cricket Association to mark the completion of 50 years of the iconic Wankhede Stadium in January 2025.

With the Wankhede set to complete a half-century of its existence, the Mumbai Cricket Association (MCA) is set to host grand celebrations to mark the occasion.

MCA president Ajinkya Naik announced on Thursday that the festivities will get underway on January 12 and culminate in a grand spectacle on January 19 at the historic stadium. The grand show on January 19 will witness an unparalleled gathering of Mumbai’s domestic and international cricket legends—past and present. The event will also feature mesmerising performances by renowned artists Avadhoot Gupte and Ajay-Atul, capped by a breathtaking laser show.
