MCA Honorary President Amol Kale.

Kale was elected the MCA president after defeating World Cup champion Sandeep Patil during a highly-contested contest in the month of October 2022. Kale was instrumental in the MCA decision to increase the match fees for Mumbai’s senior males beginning the new season.

Originating in Nagpur, Kale was based in Mumbai for more than a decade, establishing various firms. Kale was believed as a trusted friend of Devendra Fadnavis Maharashtra’s deputy chief minister.

Apart from being the head of MCA’s operations, Kale was also a co-promoter for the Indian Street Premier League, the tennis-ball franchise cricket league which was established earlier this year.
