The MPCA on Thursday said it is a mystery why the cricket committee is questioning Chandrakant Pandit's appointment as Ranji coach despite being an active participant in his selection.

The Madhya Pradesh Cricket Association (MPCA) has removed its three-member cricket committee which had questioned the appointment of senior team's head coach Chandrakant Pandit last year.

With two of its key committees - management and cricket - at loggerheads, the scene at the Madhya Pradesh Cricket Association (MPCA) is getting uglier by the day.

The grand old man of MP cricket is hurt by the ongoing controversy over the appointment of Chandrakant Pandit as head coach of the Madhya Pradesh Ranji Trophy team.
