Venkatesh Prasad.
Former India pacer Venkatesh Prasad is set to contest in the upcoming Karnataka State Cricket Association (KSCA) elections, which is tentatively to be held between October and November.

But since then Prasad stayed away from administration to focus on a coaching career along with dabbling in the media world as a pundit and commentator.
The 56-year-old, a former India bowling coach during the 2006-2007 season, was also in the coaching staff of Punjab Kings nee Kings XI Punjab.
