MUMBAI: Dilip Vengsarkar relinquished his post of Mumbai Cricket Association (MCA) chief selector on Monday, 48 hours after he was replaced by Kris Srikkanth as chairman of the National committee.

In a letter addressed to the Joint Honourary Secretary of the MCA, Vengsarkar stated: "As you are aware that by virtue of me being the Chairman of Indias selection committee, my term as the Chairman of MCAs selection committee which expired two years ago, was extended. Since I am no longer an India selector, I would like to relinquish my post as the Chairman of MCAs selection panel. I would like to thank the MCA managing committee as well as the Cricket Improvement Committee for all the support they had extended during my tenure."

The former India skipper further stated, "Mumbai cricket is as healthy as ever and I am sure by the grace of God will remain so for many years to come. I would like to request you to call on the Cricket Improvement Committee at the earliest to appoint a selector in my place as the season is about to begin."
