Balwinder Singh inducted to MCA’s Cricket Improvement Committee
Former India pacer Balwinder Singh has been drafted into Mumbai Cricket Association’s Cricket Improvement Committee along with the likes of Ajit Wadekar and Amol Muzumdar. Singh said he was looking forward to getting things in order at the MCA and improving the setup for cricket in the city.
Balwinder Singh Sandhu, who represented India in eight Test matches, will officially be the latest entrant to the Cricket Improvement Committee of the Mumbai Cricket Association as per recent reports.
Sandhu will join the likes of Amol Muzumdar and Ajit Wadekar who were already members of the committee since the past year. Another former India pacer Karsan Ghavri had also revealed that he will also be joining the CIC.
The appointment of Sandhu and Ghavri came after the CIC’s chairman Ajit Agarkar had already orally informed the MCA Committee of Administrators that he does not want to continue in the CIC and would prefer to remain the chief selector of the senior team.
61-year old Sandhu, who was a member of the 1983 World Cup winning squad, confirmed his appointment as he said to PTI sources, by stating, “Yes, they have my consent and I have agreed for it (joining the CIC)…Yes (MCA joint secretary) Unmesh Khadnvilkar (spoke to me).”
Sandhu also added that his main aim will be to ensure that cricket in the cosmopolitan city of Mumbai improved. He also said that he shared a good rapport with both Ghavri and Wadekar and hoped to do accomplish things in the future with them.
“Let’s see (about how to go ahead). Karsan, myself are on the same page on most of the things. We are good friends as well. For us, our intention is to see that Mumbai cricket improves…(We will) create some system where people are accountable and responsible for
