      Sachin Tendulkar knows Everything but I’m not Expecting Anything : Vinod Kambli

      Former India cricketer Vinod Kambli said that he is looking for cricket-related assignments as his only source of income is the pension from the BCCI in India.

      The 50-year-old Vinod Kambli, who last coach a team during the 2019 T20 Mumbai League, has hit by the post-Covid world as he is just dependent on INR 30,000 from the BCCI.

      Vinod Kambli use to mentor young cricketers at the Tendulkar Middlesex Global Academy in Nerul.

      But, the retire cricketer finds Nerul too far to travel.

      Vinod Kambli Said :

      “I use to wake up at 5am, take a cab to DY Patil Stadium. It was very hectic. I would then coach at the BKC ground in the evening,”

      “I am a retire cricketer, who is completely dependent on the pension from the BCCI. My only payment (source of income) at the moment is from the Board, for which I am really thankful and grateful. It takes care of my family.”

      “I was seeking help from the MCA (Mumbai Cricket Association). I came into the CIC [Cricket Improvement Committee], but it was an honorary job. I went to the MCA for some help. I have a family to look after. I told the MCA many times that if you require me, I am there whether it is at the Wankhede Stadium or at BKC. Mumbai cricket has given me a lot. I owe my life to this game. After retirement, there is no cricket for you. But if you want to stay steady in life, it is important to have assignments. I am looking for that from the MCA. All I can do is request the MCA president [Dr Vijay Patil] or the secretary [Sanjay Naik] for an assignment.”

      Vinod Kambli when ask whether his childhood friend and India batting legend Sachin Tendulkar is aware of this financial situation.

      Vinod Kambli said that he will be there if the Mumbai team needs him.

      Vinod Kambli Said :

      “I need assignments, where I can work with youngsters. I know Mumbai have retain Amol (Muzumdar) as their head coach, but if anywhere I am needed, I am there. We have play together and we were a great team. That’s what I want them (Mumbai team) to do…to play as a team.”
