Anil Kumble calls on Andhra CM, discusses sports development

AMARAVATI: Former captain and coach of the Indian cricket team Anil Kumble called on Andhra Pradesh chief minister YS Jagan Mohan Reddy here on Monday.

A release from the Chief Minister's office said the two held discussions on development of sports.

Kumble told the Chief Minister that he would extend support if a sports university is set up in the State.

Also, the ace leg-spinner urged the Chief Minister to focus on establishing a sports material-manufacturing factory.

Cities like Meerut and Jalandhar currently have such facilities and it would be of great help if a similar factory is set up in Andhra, the release quoted Kumble as saying.

He offered to help in this regard, it added.
