“The Government of Maharashtra is committed to hosting such big tournaments in the state because Maharashtra has a legacy of organising such events. They have been supporting this tournament fully so we are strong contenders to continue having this tournament for the next five years,” Tournament Director Prashant Sutar, who is also the Chairman of MSLTA, said.
“We also had an internal discussion with the concerned heads and we will go all out. We will also have a discussion with IMG about this as they are also a key stakeholder and understand what they have to say.
“We will need to have Reliance and IMG on the same page,” he added. The tournament is being owned by IMG and managed by RISE Worldwide.
