Venkatesh Prasad was on Sunday appointed bowling coach of Kings XI Punjab (KXIP) for the upcoming Indian Premier League (IPL), barely a couple of days after the former India medium pacer resigned as the chief of junior national selection panel. With the season 11 of the tournament around the corner, Kings XI Punjab announced their support staff. "Venkatesh Prasad, former right-arm medium-fast bowler and ex-chairman of the junior national selection committee (BCCI) comes on board as the team s bowling coach," Kings XI Punjab said in a statement. Each member of our coaching staff brings bundles of experience and insight that will help us reach the perfection we strive for here at Kings XI. Prasad, who has worked as the head of the junior national selection committee for 30 months, of late shared a cold relationship with the BCCI mandarins.
