NEW DELHI: In a major Indian Premier League development, former BCCI chairman of the selection committee MSK Prasad joined Lucknow Super Giants as a strategic consultant, the franchise announced on Thursday.
The former India cricketer Prasad is another big change in the team management after Australian Justin Langer was earlier roped in as head coach.
Langer replaced Andy Flower, whose contract was not renewed after the two-year term.
"Prasad's involvement at RPSG Sports will be instrumental in providing essential guidance across a spectrum of critical domains as Head of Talent Search, talent development and our academy business," the Lucknow-based franchise said in a release.
Prasad was the selection committee chairman of the Indian men's cricket team from 2016 to 2020.
The 48-year-old has also served as the Director of Cricket Operations at the Andhra Cricket Association, where he orchestrated the establishment of state-of-the-art coaching facilities across 13 districts within the Andhra region.
Prasad played 6 Tests and 17 ODIs for India between 1998 and 2000.
