Venkatesh Prasad, the former India pace bowler and bowling coach, resigned as chairman of the junior national selection committee yesterday, citing personal reasons. He was the chief selector who picked the India squad for the recently-concluded ICC under-19 World Cup in New Zealand where the Prithvi Shaw-led team emerged winners. It is learnt that Prasad will be joining Indian Premier League franchise Kings XI Punjab as bowling coach.
