MUMBAI: Ever since he threw his hat in the ring for the president's post in the elections of the Mumbai Cricket Association on September 28, India's 1983 World Cup hero Sandeep Patil has been facing 'Conflict of Interest' bouncers from his opponents. And, like he did in his playing days, Patil is intent on hooking them all for a 'six.'
On Monday, even as the heat gathered over MCA presidential election, a tweet emerged that Patil had been appointed as the mentor of Pokhara Avengers for the Nepal T20 League, for which he will receive a fee. However, the former India coach and chief selector issued a strong denial. "I've not signed any contract. There's nothing on paper. It was just a one-day (appearance) affair, that's it. I'm not a mentor there. I just went to unveil the logo of Pokhara Avengers, that's it. And regarding fee, who doesn't get paid for his/her services? It's a stupid allegation. Let them say anything. I can't stop my other activities," Patil told TOI on Tuesday.
