Mumbai: Former India captain Ravi Shastri was on Friday appointed new chairman of Bangalore-based National Cricket Academy (NCA) at the BCCI’s 78th AGM here after he agreed in principle to do the job.
However, the player-turned-television commentator has sought “a day or two” to get back to the BCCI and commit himself to the high-profile post after looking into his commitments, BCCI treasurer N. Srinivasan said.
[According to The Telegraph’s sources, when Shastri was first approached, he declined saying he wouldn’t find the time to do justice to the job. Obviously, the Sharad Pawar regime has persuaded him to take up the post.]
