Chandrakant Pandit’s Tenure Extended By MPCA For Upcoming Season, Says Khandekar
Madhya Pradesh Cricket Association: Abhilash Khandekar, the President of the Madhya Pradesh Cricket Association (MPCA), said it has extended Chandrakant Pandit’s tenure for the upcoming domestic cricket season. Pandit, the former India wicketkeeper, took over as the side’s head coach in 2020 and led them to its first Ranji Trophy title in 2022.
Madhya Pradesh also reached the semifinals in the next two seasons of the Ranji Trophy. Pandit comes into this domestic season on the back of coaching Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) to the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024 title in Chennai.
“Not only in Ranji Trophy but in domestic cricket, most of our teams have been faring well and they are generally in age groups of women and men also. They are qualifying for the semifinals. So, the thrust for me as the President was on creating the bench strength and therefore we have extended the contract period of Chandu Pandit, who was the KKR coach in the IPL.”
