Vinod Kambli financial struggle – Vinod Kambli Needs Job: Vinod Kambli was once regarded as talented as Sachin Tendulkar in Indian cricket.

It is important to mention that the player’s source of income is his BCCI pension as a former India cricketer. As per the current pension list, he is entitled to a sum of Rs 30,000, but that is not enough for a family.

“I am a retired cricketer, who is completely dependent on the pension from the BCCI. My only payment at the moment is from the Board, for which I am really thankful and grateful. It takes care of my family,” Kambli told Mid-Day in an interview.

However, this lone income is not going to be enough for him and his family with expenses on the rise almost every day. Just to make even more tougher, Kambli resides in Mumbai, which is said to be one of the most expensive cities as well.

He is mostly looking at some help from the Mumbai Cricket Association, which has put in efforts to help him as well in the past. With the domestic season coming up, the former player wants MCA to look into the matter and see if there is a job profile, which suits him in the Mumbai team.

“I need assignments, where I can work with youngsters. I know Mumbai have retained Amol Muzumdar as their head coach, but if anywhere I am needed, I am there. We have played together and we were a great team. That’s what I want them to do. I was seeking help from the MCA. I came into the CIC [Cricket Improvement Committee], but it was honorary job,” he said.

“I went to the MCA for some help. I have a family to look after. I told the MCA many times that if you require me, I am there whether it is at the Wankhede Stadium or at BKC. Mumbai cricket has given me a lot. I owe my life to this game.”

These is surely a difficult time for Kambli, who at one point, was known for his flashy lifestyle with the golden chain around his neck. That may still be there with him, but the glitter might have been rubbed off due to the current situation.

When it comes to cricket, Kambli played in Test matches and scored 1084 runs. He also featured in an impressive 104 ODIs scoring 2477 runs.
