The state-of-the-art indoor academy of the Mumbai Cricket Association (MCA) at Bandra Kurla Complex, which has been virtually shut for over a year, is all set to reopen in a few weeks after the managing committee approved Pradeep Kasliwal as the academy’s Director of Coaching. Kasliwal is currently a part of the senior Mumbai team selection panel.

“Pradeep Kasliwal was one of the recommendations for the Director’s role and the managing committee which met today (Monday) approved it,” Prof Ratnakar Shetty, MCA vice-president, said yesterday.
