Ajit Agarkar's senior selection committee is facing a unique challenge to justify their position in Mumbai cricket. The Mumbai Cricket Association (MCA) is under intense pressure to call a requisition Special General Meeting to sack the four-member senior selection committee. Breaking his silence for the first time, chairman of selectors Agarkar yesterday made it clear that his committee will not resign and is ready to know their fate in the SGM.

Your word against mine?
Responding to the allegation of his selection committee not watching local matches, Agarkar told a select group of reporters at the Cricket Club of India: "[What] if I say we have watched all games? It is like, 'we say this, you say that'. You look at the players who were not part of our probables [list] and have played for Mumbai last year. It doesn't happen that, 'aaj isko lete hai, kal usko'. Firstly, you look at whether they are performing. The other thing is the input from the captain and coach.
