'There Is So Much To Learn From BCCI And IPL...' Leander Paes Tells Other Sports' NSFs In The Country
"When you look at that, there is so much to learn from the BCCI and the IPL. I think every other sporting governance can come together and work with the IPL and BCCI, and learn from them how to professionalise sport—not just at the top of the pyramid where you have the best athletes in the world, but also at the grassroots level," Paes told IANS on the sidelines of a press conference organised by the Tennis Premier League in Mumbai on Tuesday.
While talking about the sports atmosphere in the country, the 52-year-old Paes, who has won eight men's doubles and ten mixed doubles Grand Slam titles in a career spanning nearly three decades, said sports like hockey, football, tennis, and badminton should follow the way the BCCI supports grassroots cricket.
