Complains of Amarnath’s absence - Cricket News Update
http://www.senore.com/Cricket/India-c750 over the past 12 months, is under scrutiny as several north zone associations have complained the non-involvement of the Men in Blue legend in spotting young talent, claiming that he spends
most of his time in http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Goa-c786.
"This is a serious issue with North Zone states and we are looking into it and if need be, we are going to make appropriate changes. But you cannot blame the selector as well because he does not stay in North India." a top level BCCI official stated.
A Delhi & District Cricket Association official also complained, "He [Amarnath] is hardly here in http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Delhi-c780, the state he represents in the panel."
The former Indian all-rounder was recently inducted into Indian Premier League’s governing body, along with former Indian captain http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Ravishankar-Jayadritha-Shastri-c84254, after the Board of Control for Cricket in India dissolved the former system, where a three-man body was paid up
to one crore each per annum.
http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Mansur-Ali-Khan-c1894 Pataudi refused to be a part of the new strucute, saying that IPL is a commercial enterprise and people working for the league need to be paid accordingly.
The BCCI bestowed Amarnath with the CK Nayudu lifetime achievement award, the highest honour the board can give to a cricketer. The award came with a citation, 15 hundred thousand Indian rupees and a trophy which was presented to him in 2010.
The main highlight of the all-rounder’s playing career came in the 1983 World Cup where he was awarded the Player of the Match following the team’s semi-final and final win against http://www.senore.com/Cricket/West-Indies-c760 respectively.
Amarnath belongs from a cricketer’s family as his father was the great Indian captain Lala, the all-rounder, who represented http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Northamptonshire-c824 and captained Delhi in Ranjhi Trophy as well.
The 61-year-old replaced http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Yashpal-Sharma-c98225 as the chief selector of North India but his overall commitments in the IPL and the BCCI have kept the high achiever busy. However, with the association openly criticizing him, it remains to be seen what action BCCI
will take regarding this matter.
