Despite getting the nod from the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI), the Mumbai Cricket Association (MCA) postponed the league, citing both safety reasons as well as the interests of stakeholders as reasons.

“In view of the current Covid-19 pandemic situation in the country and keeping in mind the safety and interests of all the stakeholders involved, the Mumbai Cricket Association has decided to defer the conduct of 3rd edition of the T20 Mumbai League till further notice,” the MCA said in a media release.
