Kochi IPL team aims to rope in Waugh

The newly-formed Kochi IPL team will, in all likelihood, rope in former Australia captain Steve Waugh in the role of a technical expert, according to reports in Indian media.

The claim was made by franchise chairman Harshad Mehta in Calcutta.

“We are planning to have Waugh and Ashish Kapoor as technical experts,” he told mediapersons at the Netaji Indoor Stadium.

The Dubai-based diamond merchant maintained that Shashi Tharoor will remain the mentor of the IPL team. He, however, declined to comment on the Sunanda Pushkar’s sweat equity issue.
