Kapil Dev, Hardik Pandya cannot be compared: Azhar

Kolkata, Jan 30 (CRICKETNMORE) - Former India captain Mohammad Azharuddin on Tuesday said "there cannot be another Kapil Dev," rubbishing the comparison of India's first World Cup winning captain with all-rounder Hardik Pandya. "It's not advisable to do that," Azhar

"I am fighting for it. I will meet Vinod Rai after the fracas at HCA. I will apprise him of all that is happening," Azhar said.

The charismatic batsman, who has played over 300 ODIs for India and 99 Tests, added that he would love to take up a coaching or administrative role and that former India cricketers should be given more roles in leagues like the Indian Premier League where there is an influx of foreign coaches.

"Lot of people from abroad come and get coaching jobs here.

"The past players will not (get a) chance in Big Bash or any other league. So personally, I think those who have represented India for a fair amount of time, should also be given the opportunity," Azhar said.
