ARCS Andheri Team Profile: History, Records and Achievements

ARCS Andheri Team History
 

ARCS Andheri is one of the foundational franchises in the T20 Mumbai League, established during the inaugural season in 2018. The team was formed with the intention of developing raw cricketing talent from the suburbs of Andheri and its surrounding regions. Over the years, ARCS Andheri has remained committed to nurturing players who represent the competitive and vibrant spirit of Mumbai cricket.

Backed by the ARCS Group, a diversified business entity, the franchise blends sporting ambition with community development. The team’s emphasis on discipline, structured coaching, and youth inclusion has made it a steady contender in every edition of the league.
 

While the franchise has yet to lift the T20 Mumbai League trophy, it has built a loyal fanbase through resilience and competitive cricket. ARCS Andheri’s strength lies in its ability to identify unsung heroes and turn them into match-winners through a consistent developmental pipeline.
