Mumbai cricketers should realise the worth of a Mumbai cap, says chief selector Sanjay Patil Premium
The Hindu
Mumbai's rollercoaster season reviewed by chairman Sanjay Patil, emphasizing the need for fresh talent in upcoming matches.
It started the season on a high by reclaiming the Irani Cup after 27 years. Followed it up with a title in the Syed Mushtaq Ali (T20) Trophy. Then failed to qualify for the knockouts in the Vijay Hazare (one-day) Trophy. And the domestic powerhouse Mumbai then signed off from the Ranji Trophy with a semifinal exit.
Soon after Mumbai’s 80-run loss against Vidarbha, chairman of the senior men’s selection committee Sanjay Patil sat down for a chat reflecting on the season. Known for his outspoken nature, Patil did not mince words at the seniors’ attitude and the need for looking beyond the same old faces for the next season.
