“My job is trying to get uncapped players. I have no say in picking capped players. I went and saw two-three tournaments – UP league, Punjab league. I had suggested names such as Priyansh Arya, Swastik Chikara, Vipraj Nigam, Aniket Verma. I put these players on a list and gave it to the CSK management. With that my job is done. It is upto them if they take the player in the auction or not,” the CSK scout said.
