Kumble,Srinath to contest KSCA elections

Earlier,KSCA secretary Brijesh Patel in a press release confirmed that he wont be contesting for the post this time. Now,I have decided to step aside and not contest the ensuing elections and support the young distinguished Test cricketers Anil Kumble,Javagal Srinath,Rahul Dravid and others in the coming elections who have pledged to take KSCA forward in the coming challenging years., the release stated.

We cricketers,GR VIswanath,Syed Kirmani,Roger Binny,Sudhakar Rao,J Abhiram,others and myself came together in 1998 to contribute to KSCAs growth and prosperity. We put in our best efforts collectively for the past 12 years with utmost sincerity with the interest of the institution as our single goal.

With the changing times,Im of the firm belief that fresh energy,new ideas and young feet are always good for an institution. We are lucky that we have living cricketing legends Anil Kumble,Rahul Dravid,Javagal Srinath and others who are willing to sacrifice their time and energy to take Karnataka cricket forward, it further stated.

Ive seen these cricketers closely and Ive immense faith and utmost confidence in their ability and commitments to make KSCA a model association not only of the country but also of the world.
