VIJAYAWADA: Former captain and coach of the Indian cricket team Anil Kumble met Chief Minister YS Jagan Mohan Reddy at the latter’s camp office near here on Monday. The CM and the former Indian skipper held discussions on the development of sports in the state.
Anil Kumble, who holds the record of claiming all ten wickets in an innings, informed the Chief Minister that he will extend support if a Sports University is set up in the state. The leg-spinner with a high arm action urged the CM to focus on establishing a sports material manufacturing factory in the state. All types of sports materials are being manufactured in cities like Meerut and Jalandhar and it would be of great help if the factory is set up in the state, he said.
