Meanwhile, one of the sources felt that wasn’t a good thing for Mumbai Cricket to remove the personalities of such a great reputation without even asking them. He added that Ajit Agarkar-led panel was hurt by the decision of MCA.

“This is no way to treat ex-cricketers who have served Mumbai and India with distinction. The selectors quit because if they would have been sacked today, a dangerous precedent would have been set. They are against this entire process of removing the selectors. They are clearly hurt that the MCA didn’t back them. And also, their integrity and cricketing acumen was questioned,” said a source as per Cricbuzz.

However, after winning the 50-over domestic tournament (Vijay Hazare Trophy) Mumbai failed to progress to the knockout stages of the prestigious Ranji Trophy. Meanwhile, in the recent Syed Mushtaq Ali T20 tournament, they were eliminated in the Super League stage.
