Ex-India spinner Laxman Sivaramakrishnan among applicants for post in BCCI selection committee

Firstpost  

New Delhi: Former India leg-spinner Laxman Sivaramakrishnan has applied for a position in the national selection panel along with former off-spinner Rajesh Chauhan and left-handed batsman Amay Khurasiya. Sivaramakrishnan, hero of India’s Benson and Hedges World Championship of Cricket triumph, has been a commentator for 20 years and has also been a spin bowling coach at the National Cricket Academy besides being part of the ICC’s Cricket Committee. Former junior chairman of selectors Venkatesh Prasad and former India batting coach Sanjay Bangar could also throw their hat in the ring, which will make it an interesting three-way battle for the chairman’s position. I believe if I get four years, I would leave Indian cricket in a better space in terms of bench strength in all three departments, especially spin bowling,” Siva told PTI.
