This is another step in the professionalisation of the Knight Riders franchise,&quot; Venky Mysore, CEO &amp; MD of KKR, said in a statement.<br \/>\r\n<br \/>\r\nMysore also announced the appointment of Abhishek Nayar as the lead coach and mentor for KKR Academy. &quot;Abhishek&#39;s credentials as a cricketer and his deep desire &amp; passion to help cricketers become better is very well known. We felt that he&#39;s ideally suited to lead this initiative.&quot;<br \/>\r\n<br \/>\r\nNayar said, &quot;I am honoured to have been given the role of managing the KKR Academy. KKR has a highly talented set of boys and with this kind of nurturing in the off-season I am sure they will become better cricketers.&nbsp;<br \/>\r\n<br \/>\r\n&quot;I am also thankful to the KKR management for investing in the future of these promising cricketers.&quot;<br \/>\r\n<br \/>\r\nKKR also announced that Omkar Salvi has come on board as the bowling coach of their academy.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cricketnmore.com\/Top-10-cricket-news-of-the-day\">Top 10 Cricket News of the <\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cricketnmore.com\/Top-10-cricket-news-of-the-day\">Day<\/a><\/p>\r\n\r\n<hr \/>\r\n<p>IANS<\/p>\r\n",
