Former India and Mumbai pacer Salil Ankola was on Monday re-appointed chairman of the senior Mumbai selection committee and the U-23 team.

However, he now has four new selectors to work with. Ankola's new colleagues are Ghulam Parkar, Sunil More, Prasad Desai and Anand Yalvigi. MCA's Cricket Improvement Committee (CIC) chief Jatin Paranjape and his colleagues Vinod Kambli and Nilesh Kulkarni finalised the junior and senior selection committees for the forthcoming domestic season.

"This is a team [committee] of good, nice people and we have played together. I have played with Anand and Sunil. Ghulambhai was my senior and I know Prasad since our U-17 cricket days. We are all raring to go for the betterment of Mumbai cricket," Ankola told mid-day. Meanwhile, Atul Ranade, Mandar Phadke and Jayprakash Jadhav will head the selection panels of the Mumbai U-19, U-16 and U-14 teams respectively.
