Vidarbha Cricket Association’s Cricket Improvement and Development Committee chairman, Prashant Vaidya has said that Akshay Wadkar’s team need to understand the importance of the ongoing Ranji Trophy final against hosts Mumbai and utilise the opportunity to grab the attention of the national selectors.

“They can’t get a bigger [platform] than this. The selectors are here, you are playing against Mumbai in Mumbai and past players involved in the game are watching this game. It’s definitely a big platform for any cricketer who wants to display his skill and progress to the higher level,” Vaidya, the former India ODI fast bowler, told mid-day on Monday at the Wankhede Stadium.
