After Sandeep Patil declared his intentions of contesting for the Mumbai Cricket Association’s (MCA) president’s post in the September 28 elections, another former India cricketer—Raju Kulkarni—has shown interest in joining the administrative fray.

“I got a call from Sandeep [Patil] as he wants a good team in place to run MCA affairs. I couldn’t say no to him as I have always admired him as a cricketer. So yes, I will contest for the vice-president’s post,” Kulkarni told mid-day on Sunday. The ex-India pacer has served the MCA as part of the Cricket Improvement Committee (CIC).
