"It's so unfortunate that MCA is not contributing anything," exclaimed Ghavri, who, along with former Mumbai and India captain Dilip Vengsarkar, was chief guest at the function. Ghavri reckoned that the amounts presented to the players would have been greater had former MCA president Sharad Pawar was involved in the felicitation in which the association should have got associated with. Vengsarkar said that no praise can be too high for the sponsors who came forward to honour a Ranji Trophy team.
