Vinod Kambli has ambitious plans for his second innings. The former India cricketer, who joined a not-so-popular political party Lok Bharti on Wednesday, will head the Khel Bharti Sports Academy.

"There is a lot of talent in small towns and villages, but they don't have access to the required facilities. We will scout talent at grassroot level and give them all the facilities and training required at our sports academy. We'll give them proper guidance and all the support to make them a national treasure," Kambli said.
