Former India pacer Karsan Ghavri, a member of the Mumbai Cricket Association's Cricket Improvement Committee (CIC), has slammed the manner in which Vinayak Samant has been reappointed as Mumbai coach and the controversy surrounding Sulakshan Kulkarni, who was earlier offered the job.

"The ad-hoc committee cannot overrule a decision which has already been made by the CIC. They should have had a meeting with the CIC to discuss the issue [after Kulkarni did not agree to MCA's contract terms]. If this is how MCA is going to function by taking their own cricketing decisions, then I don't wish to be on the CIC. I am going to resign in a couple of days," an upset Ghavri told mid-day yesterday. "We [CIC] held several meetings, each lasting for nearly five hours, to interview coaches and support staff for the junior and senior teams. [By appointing Samant] they have not just treated CIC badly, but also the coaches and support staff," he added.
