Captain and former Indian international Kedar Jadhav, last edition's leading run-scorer Ankit Bawne, veteran all-rounder Srikant Munde and Under-19 World Cup star Sachin Dhasa were also present at the event.
Kolhapur Tuskers had lifted the runners-up trophy in the inaugural edition of the MPL last year after the final against Ratnagiri Jets, and Leyte were awarded the trophy as they topped the league due to their superior net run rate. (NRR) despite both teams scoring the same number of wins.
The team management has strengthened the squad this season by picking up Mudhe, who has been a part of two IPL teams Kolkata Knight Riders and Sahara Pune Warriors, and hard-hitting wicketkeeper batsman Aniket Porwal in the recently concluded auction.
Mudhe has also been appointed as the new vice-captain of the team.
On this occasion, captain Jadhav said, "Last season we did not get enough time to prepare. But this time we have prepared very well. I would say that we should enjoy the process and play as per our ability." We must win, only then we will win." The challenge for all of us is to perform to the best of our ability and not worry about other factors."
Kolhapur Tuskers will begin their MPL2024 campaign against Ratnagiri Jets at the MCA Stadium in Gahunje on Sunday with the mega final taking place at the same venue on June 22.
