Need for a basketball league in India: Vishesh Bhriguvanshi
The HinduThere is no dearth of talent in India according to men’s basketball captain Vishesh Bhriguvanshi, who feels the advent of a professional league will give the national players an opportunity to prosper in the sport. Many of these domestic leagues have made the game popular and arguably improved the quality of sports in India, offering national players a chance to go shoulder to shoulder with international recruits. In 2017, Bhriguvanshi became the first Indian to be signed by Australia’s National Basketball League. After I recovered my plan was to focus on the Asian and Olympic qualifiers for India and then head to Australia but that has been hampered due to the coronavirus.” Bhriguvanshi, who is also an HR Executive in ONGC, a PSU under the Ministry of Petroleum and Natural Gas, feels India has good quality players coming up and under the tutelage of head coach Veselin Matic of Serbia, youngsters can attain greater heights.
