Dhawal Kulkarni , who led the Mumbai Ranji team`s pace attack for years, was on Wednesday appointed as bowling mentor of the premier domestic side across formats for the upcoming 2024-25 season.

The announcement was made here after a meeting of the Mumbai Cricket Association`s (MCA) apex council. Kulkarni, who played 12 ODIs and two T20Is for India between 2014 and 2016, retired from all forms of cricket after helping Mumbai win the prestigious Ranji Trophy for a record-extending 42nd time in the previous season.
