The Mumbai Cricket Association will not take any action next to Ajit Agarkar for returning home in a huff after being drop from the Mumbai team next to Orissa in the Ranji Trophy Elite match in Cuttack.
"No action is being contemplate against Agarkar who sought my permission to return home on Tuesday and I, in turn, asked Mumbai selection panel chairman (Milind Rege). Rege felt Ajit did not feel comfortable sitting in the reserves and can be permitted," MCA joint secretary Nitin Dalal said.
Agarkar, who had return to the Mumbai squad for the previous game next to Karnataka after missing the first two ties due to injury, was left out after the team management decisive to include Avishkar Salvi and Dhawal Kulkarni as the support seamers for Zaheer Khan who is testing his match fitness in front of the tour to Australia.
"Agarkar was feeling dishonored after he was dropped for the match by the team management. He was an India player and we feel it would be better if he is allowable to return home as a substitute of staying back with the team," Dalal added.
Dalal also said the MCA officials will ask the team management and Agarkar to sit jointly with them and batter out the differences after the squad returns.
"We would sit with them and talk about the issue. He is existing for selection for the next match (against Saurashtra at Rajkot from December 6-9)," Dalal added.
Mumbai selection panel chairman Rege said the board will meet on Saturday to pick the team for the clash against Saurashtra.
The former Mumbai captain and off-spinner also sounded upset about the comments allegedly made by Zaheer Khan that he and team coach Sulakshan Kulkarni were "bringing down Mumbai cricket."
Asked for his comments, Rege said, "It's for the MCA to ask Zaheer Khan what he meant by that statement that I am bringing down Mumbai cricket. I am doing my job as a selector. I don't want to respond further."
