Only a few years ago, Jammu & Kashmir lacked the basic infrastructure for first-class cricket but Mithun Manhas, the current BCCI president, played a huge role in their turnaround. He joined as a key administrator in the BCCI-appointed subcommittee to overlook the Jammu and Kashmir Cricket Association in 2021 and that’s how the story unfolded. The kind of support that he has given to JKCA is beyond imagination,” Manhas told The Telegraph on Saturday evening. “Then the whole process started and, you know, after a span of four years, here we are, the Ranji champions. “You’ll see a lot more players taking up cricket and I’m sure J&K will benefit from that in the long run.”
