Aditya Ighe

His ban was cut down to seven years.

The Mumbai Cricket Association (MCA) has appointed a former Rajasthan Royals (RR) player, Ankeet Chavan, as the head coach of the Under-14 team. Chavan was among the three players, including pacer S Sreesanth and Ajit Chandila, who once faced a life ban for their alleged involvement in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2013 spot-fixing scandal.

The MCA also announced the appointments of coaches and selectors for various age-group teams.

Moreover, former Team India selector Sandeep Patil has been retained as the chairman of the selection committee.

Ex-Rajasthan Royals Player Named Coach After IPL 2013 Spot-Fixing Scandal

The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) reduced the ban to seven years in 2021 for all three players. Earlier, he had played 18 first-class and 20 List-A matches, scoring 571 and 254 runs. With the ball, he took 53 and 18 wickets across the two formats.

After the ban, Chavan continued to play club cricket for Karnataka Sports Club in Mumbai. Meanwhile, he also successfully passed the Level-1 coaching exam. The 39-year-old now embarks on a new journey as a coach.

“This is a second innings for me, and I am eagerly looking forward to it. There is always a chance to make a comeback in life. I want to thank the Mumbai Cricket Association for putting their faith in me,” said Chavan in an interview with The Indian Express.

The southpaw aims to put his learnings and experience into his new journey as a coach.

“Coaching has always been on my mind, and I am aware of the challenges that lie ahead. At the Under-14 level, I want to focus on developing the players’ basic techniques to help them improve their game,” he added.

Chavan represented the Rajasthan Royals in the IPL for three straight years from 2011 to 2013 before getting banned. However, his record in the cash-rich isn’t one to talk about, having managed just 12 runs and eight wickets in 13 matches across three seasons. His best season was in 2012 when he took seven wickets and scored 11 runs.

The franchise was eventually banned for two years, along with Chennai Super Kings.
