Mangesh Sharad Darekar has successfully completed Level B refresher course in 2011 and post that he has cleared Level 2 under the aegis of MCA (Mumbai Cricket Association). The 41 year old is a certified coach having obtained certificates from the prestigious MCA. He has been associated with MCA as a part of summer camp coaching for over a decade.
As a player, Darekar was a genuine all-rounder; right hand batsman and a right arm medium pace bowler. Mangesh has played for Mumbai U-19 and has played at the University level. One of the fond memories of Mangesh is that when he was called to bowl at the practice nets by the New Zealand cricket team, he had clean bowled one of the finest batsmen of the era; Martin Crowe. For his scintillating bowling, Crowe gifted him a t-shirt, which is still treasured by Darekar.
Mangesh has also played for Mahindra and Mahindra in Times Shield in A division and represented Dadar Union Club and PJ Hindu Gymkhana in A division Kanga League.
Mangesh Darekar has already provided valuable service to cricket in Mumbai; both as a player and as a coach. Let’s hope that the Borivali resident continues his noble deeds for years to come.

There was some element of uncertainty throughout this week within the mumbai cricket community and the inevitable finally happened. Mumbai Cricket Association, officially announced the conclusion of Kanga Cricket League.
As many as nine rounds of Kanga cricke league had been washed out due to incessant rains in different parts of mumbai. As per the rules, team relegation or promotion cant be executed unless five matches are played. This also meant that the rest of matches to be played in the tournament would have been rendered pointless without any impact on team rankings.
Another reason cited by the Mumbai Cricket Association was that of shortage of grounds due to Metro work & Ramleela at Azaad maidan coupled with Durga Puja at Shivaji Park Grounds. The last round scheduled to be played on 2nd and 9th October 2016 has been cancelled and the tournament officially concluded.
As per the official website of Mumbai Cricket Association, all matches of Kanga League (A to G division) to be played on 25th September 2016 are washed out.
Life is tough without cricket !
We hope to have full day matches at the earliest.
Former first class and Ranji cricket player from Madhya Pradesh and currently one of the reputed names in the world of Mumbai cricket, Sanjay Dogra has not only carved a solid niche as a player during his days(left arm spinner and middle order bat) but also as someone who has played a pivotal role in developing the new brand of cricket. DCA(cricket academy) in Kandivali, Mumbai is the brainchild of Sanjay Dogra. The academy was started over a decade back and has produced many wonderful players, who have not only played for different states including Mumbai at junior and senior(Ranji) level.
Sanjay Dogra runs this academy and The senior players of the academy shoulder the responsibility of training the young guns under the guidance of Sanjay Dogra. DCA is a temple to the devotees of cricket. DCA provides highest quality of proffesional coaching to the players which is free of cost to the deserving players. You need to have some substance and caliber to catch the watchful eyes of this mighty left arm spinner. Only the ones who prove their worth are finally selected to seek training under the able aegis of Sanjay Dogra.
Branded as ‘murder bowler’ by the legendary cricketer Sunil Gavaskar, Mr.Dogra has fond memories of playing alongside the great legend Sunil Gavaskar and many other international cricketers and was known as one of the deadliest left arm spinners in the country during his playing days. Though he could not pursue cricket as a career,Sanjay Dogra has also made a mark in advertising industry. He was associated with agencies like Lintas,Saatchi and Saatchi,Everest,The Times of India,Network etc at a senior level and got to manage various big brands like P and G,Yamaha,Ministry of Tourism,Star India and many more
DCA is like a boon to cricket. Highest and toughest standard of training including fitness to the young and budding players has been a unique proposition of the academy. ‘Fitness first’ is the way to go at DCA. The players are trained rigorously initially for a first two or three months and only when the boys are shaped to be moulded, they are allowed to practice in the nets.
The academy has wonderful facilities, which includes very good practice wickets and also flood lights when required. The academy has earned a lot of name in Mumbai. Let’s hope that the academy produces great players in future and makes Mumbai proud.
