Former BCCI President, Sharad Pawar wants Sachin to groom youngsters in MCA

Former BCCI President, Sharad Pawar wants Sachin to groom youngsters in MCA: Just after the Cricketing legend, Sachin Tendulkar has been appointed as one of the three advisories of the Indian Cricket team, Sharad Pawar has planned for a role for the Master Blaster in the Mumbai Cricket Association.

In fact, the President of the Mumbai Cricket Association (MCA), Mr. Sharad Pawar has already said that Sachin has been approached for the purpose about helping the young talents to mould into perfect cricketers. Prior to attending the first meeting of the Bal Mahaddalkar group on Saturday evening, Pawar said, “Some discussions have already taken place with him (Tendulkar) about him helping out Mumbai cricket. We already have a cricket improvement committee, cricket selection committee, and if Sachin spares some time then Mumbai Cricket Association will be extremely happy. We want to use his talent and his guidance for budding cricketers”

Pawar is contesting for the post of MCA president and that is after almost a decade and will be contesting against the Shiv Sena backed candidate, Vijay Patil. Pawar also said of the fact that he would have withdrawn his name from the contest provided if Patil had given an assurance of not to make demands for international and IPL games to be played at the D.Y. Patil Sports Academy in Navi Mumbai.

The former president of the BCCI and ICC made his stern statements about this matter. His words were, ““Had he given such an undertaking I probably would have withdrawn from the fray. They should have made their position clear about hosting games in DY Patil stadium. We have no objection to give practice matches, Ranji Trophy matches and other games (to DY Patil stadium). But we can’t encourage talks about giving IPL matches from which the MCA gets a few lakh rupees per match. If the match is given elsewhere then MCA will suffer financial loss. So, the main responsibility of those who want to contest elections and manage the affairs of the association must be to protect each and every part of the organisation.”

It is to be seen that whether Sachin accepts to the proposal of Pawar. If accepted, it will undoubtedly be a great boon for the Mumbai Cricket, and also to the Indian Cricket, considering things on a broader niche.
