Dilip Vengsarkar appointed NCA director
Vengsarkar will be replacing Brijesh Patel, who had to step down from his position after BCCI president Shashank Manohar took tough stand on conflict-of-interest issue.
Former cricker and currently Mumbai Cricket Association's vice-president, Dilip Vengsarkar has been appointed director of the National Cricket Academy (NCA) in Bangalore.
Vengsarkar, who readily accepted the offer told ESPNcricinfo that the job would be a tough one looking at the present "defunct" state of the academy and plans has to me made for its revival.
"Over the years it (NCA) has been the supply line for Indian international cricket," Vengsarkar said. "It is challenging to spot and groom talent from all over India. There is a huge amount of talent in India, but it has to be groomed and nurtured and the NCA can play an important role in that process," Vengsarkar told ESPNcricinfo.
