Dighe quits as Mumbai coach
Mumbai June 8 (IANS) Former India wicketkeeper Sameer Dighe on Friday resigned as Mumbai coach after the side endured a poor domestic season in 2017-18.

Dighe who played six Tests and 23 ODIs between 2001-02 cited personal reasons for stepping down from his post.
The MCA s Cricket Improvement Committee (CIC) headed by former India fast bowler Ajit Agarkar is likely to convene soon to discuss potential replacements ahead of the new season in September.
