EXCLUSIVE PICS : Sachin Tendulkar at a Training Session in Wankhede, OCT 22, 2013
With Sachin Tendulkar set to play his last Ranji Trophy tie for Mumbai, former Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) chief Ranbir Mahendra said it's a great honour for Haryana and the state's cricket association to play host to someone who has been the game's legend.
"It's definitely a great honour for Haryana and Haryana Cricket Association that Sachin is set to play in our state, barely days before he retires," Mahendra, also a former Congress MLA from the state, told PTI over phone.
In order to prepare for the two-match Test series against the West Indies next month, Tendulkar will play for Mumbai in the Ranji Trophy preliminary round match against Haryana from October 27-30 at Ch Bansi Lal stadium at Lahli, a small town in Rohtak district, about 270 km from Chandigarh.
Mahendra said that in 1989, when Tendulkar began his international career, he was the secretary of the BCCI.
