MUMBAI: It is unlikely that the contract of the current Mumbai Ranji coach
Chandrakant Pandit will be renewed for the upcoming season.
The Cricket Improvement Committee of the Mumbai Cricket Association will meet tomorrow to select the coach for the formidable state team, it was learnt today.
As per highly placed sources in the
MCA
, Pandit's contract won't be renewed.
The question then arises, who will coach the Mumbai team and sources say two former India players -- batsman
Praveen Amre
and stumped
Sameer Dighe are in the race to coach record Ranji Trophy champions.
Pandit was the coach of the Mumbai team for two years and under him the side won its 41st Ranji Trophy title.

Amre has ample coaching experience and was also associated with a few IPL teams.
