The newly-formed Cricket Improvement Committee (CIC) of the Mumbai Cricket Association (MCA) has already witnessed two resignations after their very first meeting, held on May 8. First, former Ranji cricketer Sanjay Patil resigned after he got himself nominated as a selector of the Mumbai senior and U-23 committees and as chairman of the U-19 selection panel. Then, yesterday, former India pacer Raju Kulkarni informed the MCA about his unavailability to be on the CIC panel.

Kulkarni and his other CIC colleague Kiran Mokashi had expressed their dissent over the selection panels announced by MCA last Thursday, claiming that some of the names included were not even discussed during the CIC meeting a day before the announcement.
