"It is an honor to become the President of PGTI, an organization with which I have now been associated for quite a few years. It is a player’s body, and I am great friends with all of them and with whom I often play,” said Dev, one of the icons of Indian cricket.
"And now it is the sport where I spend most of my time. I have been a Vice-President, and I am on the board, so it’s an honor to be chosen by the players to be the President. I promise to do my best, as I always have. What gives me even greater pleasure is that I will be able to spend more time with my golfing friends and play a little more,” he added.
Kapil Dev is well connected in the golfing world and he also hosts the Grant Thornton Invitational at the DLF Golf and Country Club.
"Golf is a great sport. You can play it till any age, and it is an amazingly relaxing sport,” he said. “I am busy with cricket often, but it is a golf course that I go to for relaxation.
“I am fortunate to be able to serve golf, and I want to take it to new levels,” Dev added.
