MUMBAI, July 17: The Mumbai Cricket Association on Friday shortlisted former India players Lalchand Rajput, Sameer Dighe and Raju Kulkarni for its Cricket Improvement Committee.
An Apex Council member said that the three names have been zeroed in for CIC including Rajput, who is currently coaching Zimbabwe. “Now their consent will be obtained on whether they want to be part of the committee. If they give their consent, we will accordingly send them letters,” the Apex Council member said after the Council meeting.
The CIC is responsible for cricket related appointments including coach and selectors.
The issue of resumption of cricket, which has come to a standstill since March due to outbreak of COVID19 pandemic, was also discussed.
“We will follow all the guidelines of the state (Maharashtra) Government and won’t resume any activity till we have permission from them. Also, we will see what the BCCI decides, and then accordingly plan out tournaments,” the official added.
