Ex-India opener and former Mumbai selector Ghulam Parkar wants new MCA president Ajinkya Naik to prioritise local cricket.

“He should give importance to tournaments like Police, Talim and Purshottam Shields and also increase its price money to encourage cricketers. They should also focus on maintaining standards in inter-school and inter-college tournaments and give priority to cricketing matters,” said Parkar, who played for Mumbai in the 1970s and 1980s.
