According to Media Sources, Milind Rege, former Mumbai captain, passed away on Wednesday after suffering a heart attack, just days after celebrating his 76th birthday, according to an official release from the BCCI. Rege had a prolific domestic cricket career, taking 126 wickets with his off-spin across 52 first-class matches between the 1966-67 and 1977-78 seasons. Additionally, he contributed 1532 runs at an average of 23.56. Post-retirement, he remained deeply involved with the Mumbai Cricket Association (MCA), serving in various roles, including as a selector and later as the chief selector.
As Per Media Sources, The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) posted on their official X handle, “The BCCI mourns the passing of Milind Rege, former Mumbai captain and selector. A pillar of Mumbai cricket, he played a key role in its growth and legacy. His keen eye for talent and contributions as a commentator earned admiration across the cricketing fraternity. The Board extends its heartfelt condolences to his family, friends, and the Mumbai Cricket Association.” Notably, Rege was on the selection panel that included a young Sachin Tendulkar in Mumbai’s Ranji Trophy squad in 1988. He was also among the early advocates for the use of video analysis in domestic cricket, backing its implementation in Mumbai’s setup as early as 2006.
