Yesterday, Yadav had to wait for more than 90 minutes until MCA managing committee meeting concluded their meeting at Wankhede Stadium's Cricket Centre. The Twitter controversy was high up on the agenda.

Yadav was eventually summoned to Shelar's cabin where he handed in his apology letter. It is learnt that the MCA president advised Yadav to concentrate on his batting and avoid controversy.

"I have been informed that he (Yadav) has submitted an unconditional apology and we (the selection committee) have included him in the Mumbai team now," senior selection committee chief Milind Rege told mid-day.
