"I always wanted to serve Mumbai cricket and hopefully I will get to do that. Besides coaching, I do have administrative experience too as I was part of the NCA," Patil told PTI.

"I could not be part of MCA earlier due to the conflict of interest clause," he said, referring to his commentary commitments in the past that did not allow him to contest MCA election.
