The post has been vacant since April when former India wicketkeeper Pandit was asked to resign because of his association with Rajasthan C A as Director of its cricket academy. In the past, Contractor has been associated with the National Cricket Academy, Bangalore as a Talent Resources Development Officer (TRDO) for West Zone. He was replaced by former opening batsman - the late Ashok Mankad.

Meanwhile, to curb the overage menace plaguing local cricket, the MCA decided to restrict the number seasons players can be part of age group teams - a maximum of two years for players in the U-14 and U-16 age categories while an U-19 player can play in his category for no more than three years. u00a0
