Azhar landed in support of Raman
Azhar recently expressed displeasure over the removal of former Indian women’s team coach WV Raman from the post and came out in support of Raman. Azharuddin, while supporting Raman on Sunday, said that more clever people are less in cricket than this former player who was removed from the post of the coach of the national women’s team. Azharuddin tweeted, “WV Raman’s understanding and coaching skills about the game can be very useful for many people. He is very clever and very few people and he has many years of experience. He will try his best to connect with the Hyderabad Cricket Association and it will benefit immensely. ”The last part of Azhar’s tweet suggests that the Hyderabad Cricket Association president could give Raman a big responsibility here.
