MCA appoints Saxena, Samant as indoor academy coaches at BKC

MUMBAI: The Mumbai Cricket Association's (MCA) Cricket Improvement Committee (CIC), led by former India opener Lalchand Rajput has appointed ex-Mumbai pacer Santosh Saxena (fast bowling) and Satish Samant (batting) as coaches at the MCA's indoor academy in BKC.


Saxena and Samant took up the jobs after Pradeep Sundaram (fast bowling) and Vinayak Mane (batting) didn't accept the CIC's offer earlier. Sundaram is now the pace bowling coach of the Assam cricket academy.

Saxena was one of the three coaches of the Railways senior team last season.
