Veteran sports journalist and former treasurer of the Mumbai Cricket
Association (MCA) Sharad Kotnis died at his Bandra residence early
today in sleep following a massive heart attack. He was 70.
He is survived by his wife, a son and a daughter.
Kotnis, who had covered several international cricket assignments
besides the 1982 Asian Games in Delhi and the 1988 Seoul Olympics,
continued his journalistics career and stint in MCA cricket
administration side by side for nearly two decades.
Starting his stint in sports journalism with the 'Free Press Journal'
here in the early sixties, Kotnis switched over to sports magazine
'Sportsweek' and its sister publication, the evening paper 'Mid-Day'
and was connected with these two publications for more than fifteen
years.
Kotnis, who was MCA's treasurer for four years around the time of
Reliance World Cup in 1987, moved over to 'Afternoon Despatch and
Courier', where he worked for six years as sports editor until his
retirement in 1993.
