Recently, Salil Ankola spoke to Cricbuzz and told them about his cricket career. Salil Ankola said- At one time I was thrown out of Team India and I was selected in India A team. There I was kept not for playing matches but for carrying drinks. After 2001, I completely got away from cricket. That same year, I made a mistake that I regret to this day.

Further, Salil Ankola said- At that time I was offered a job in cricket from Sony, which I turned down. I don't know why I declined that offer. But it was a wrong decision, which I regret to date.

Last year he was appointed as the chief selector of Mumbai.
