MUMBAI: If the Mumbai Cricket Association becomes the first state unit in the country to implement contracts for its cricketers, then veteran BCCI and Mumbai Cricket Association administrator Ratnakar Shetty deserves some credit for it.
It was on Shetty's suggestion that MCA president Vijay Patil proposed having annual contracts for Mumbai cricketers at an Apex Council meeting of the association on Wednesday. Patil's proposal was approved by the MCA's Apex Council.
