It was a bitter-sweet day for Mumbai leg-spinner Pravin Tambe yesterday. The 41-year-old, who made his first-class debut in the last Ranji Trophy season, was informed about his selection for Mumbai's last league match against Karnataka starting on February 6 at the Wankhede Stadium.

But as the day progressed, his joy turned into dejection after learning that his name was not in the squad of 15. "I got a call from the MCA (Mumbai Cricket Association) that I have been selected in the team and have to come for practice. I rushed to the MCA to fill the form. When I reached the MCA office I was told that the practice has been cancelled, but I still filled the form.
