“The treasure trove throws up more gold: the photo and the heading says it all – this was almost 20 years ago… and he is as swashbuckling as ever. A great friend – Brandon de Souza,  A great buddy of all us in the sport,” he added.

Also delighted about the development, Anand Datla,  the Head Assessment, and Impact Measurement Tata Trusts said it is an opportunity to have an experienced lad lead the governing body.
