Former India cricketer Vinod Kambli has received a lot of response and support among cricket lovers on social media after mid-day highlighted his poor financial condition on Wednesday. However, the Mumbai Cricket Association (MCA), from whom Kambli is seeking for some cricket-related work, remained non-committal about providing him any assignments. Kambli is part of the MCA’s three-member Cricket Improvement Committee (CIC), but that’s an honorary job. After speaking to several MCA officials, it appears that the association is wary of recruiting Kambli in any capacity.
“In a meeting in 2021, the MCA Apex Council had taken a decision to create a General Manager [Cricket Operations] position. It was specifically created to appoint Kambli after he requested MCA to provide him some work, which would help him monetarily. However, after a video of him [allegedly drunk] went viral, we did not pursue his appointment,” a source told mid-day on Wednesday.
