As domestic cricket talent grows, Mumbai Cricket Association advertising vacancies for high-profile coaches and selectors nurture it to help develop the future. High-profile coaches and selectors play a pivotal role in domestic cricket, bringing invaluable experience and expertise to nurture talent and elevate the standard of play. Their guidance and insights help shape the next generation of cricketers, instilling discipline, strategy, and a winning mindset. Their presence not only enhances player development but also adds prestige and credibility to the domestic cricketing setup.
The prestige of Mumbai Cricket is illustrious, having produced cricketing legends such as Sunil Gavaskar, Sachin Tendulkar, Rohit Sharma, Mithali Raj, Smriti Mandhana, and Jemimah Rodrigues, to name a few. Renowned for its rich cricketing history and formidable talent pool, Mumbai Cricket continues to be a powerhouse in Indian cricket, shaping the careers of a host of iconic players.

The MCA is in search of a new chairman for the senior selection committee following the transition of former Indian pacer Raju Kulkarni. Kulkarni, who previously served as the senior chief selector, has assumed the role of chairman of the MCA’s Cricket Improvement Committee. Although the MCA has published an advertisement for the position of Mumbai head coach, it is anticipated that Omkar Salvi, who led the Mumbai team to its first Ranji Trophy title in eight years last season, will likely retain the role for the upcoming season.
Former Indian cricketers, Preeti Dimri and Sahil Kukreja, are poised to interview the shortlisted candidates on Friday/Saturday, post which the finalized appointments will bear fruit.
The applications should be sent on or before 9th May, 2024.
