MCA’s Joint Honorary Secretary Dr Unmesh Khanvilkar told mid-day: “Members felt that the rule affecting cricketers and selectors needs to be rethought. Our president (Sharad Pawar) will raise our concerns at the BCCI’s Annual General Meeting (on November 9).”

MCA’s vice-president and former India skipper Dilip Vengsarkar has been running cricket academies in Mumbai and Pune for over a decade now. MCA’s Managing Committee member and former Test cricketer Pravin Amre is currently Delhi Daredevils’ assistant coach.
