Former India pacer and Mumbai chief selector Raju Kulkarni made it clear that his selection committee is looking at left-arm spinner and batting all-rounder Shams Mulani as a future captain. On Tuesday, Mulani was announced as Mumbai skipper for the Bapuna Cup T20 Invitation Tournament to be played from September 23 in Nagpur.
“Shams is a senior player and we are trying him out as a captain. Recently Dhawal [Kulkarni] led the Mumbai team in the Buchi Babu tournament. Shams has captaincy experience under his belt as he led Mumbai U-19 as well as the U-23 team,” Kulkarni told mid-day.com on Tuesday.
