Anil Kumble Meets Andhra CM YS Jagan Mohan Reddy
Anil Kumble is counted among India’s top-notch former players. Presently he is mentoring the Punjab Kings franchise of the Indian Premier League as a coach. Kumble’s entire cricketing career has been decorated with numerous awards and trophies. He is considered among the best Indian cricketers of his era. To date he has a massive fan following in India.
The former cricketer has said that if Andhra Pradesh sets up a sports university then he is going to extend his full support in all possible ways. Definitely, if such a university will be set up in AP sportspersons are going to be benefitted the most. Also, the sportsperson from AP then will not have to travel and stay in other states for sports training.
Apart from the suggestion of setting up the university, cricketers also highlighted the need for sports equipment factories in the state of Andhra Pradesh. All sports equipments are bought by Andhra from Meerut and Jalandhar. So if the state sets up its own sports industries it will not only decrease the travel cost but will also increase employment opportunities.
Anil Kumble is a native of Karnataka and met CM Reddy of Andhra because of a special invitation from the CM. CM presented Kumble with a shawl and lord Venkateshwar’s statue. After Kumble’s suggestion, Reddy has promised him to think about it and discuss it with sports officials of the state.
