Former India captain Sunil Gavaskar wants to contribute more to the game as administrator and coach.
Speaking to reporters on Wednesday after being chosen for Castrol's Lifetime Achievement award for his contribution to Indian cricket, he said: "I hope I will not become complacent after winning two lifetime achievement awards in a week [Ceat and Castrol] as I would like to contribute little more to the game as an administrator and in future as a coach.
"It is a big honour to win this award as they [Castrol] were the first to introduce such awards in the history of Indian cricket and I am looking forward to receiving the award at a function in Bangalore on November 10."
The most sought after television commentator added, "Coaching is one angle that I would like to do more in the future; it is definitely high in my part of the plan."
Speaking about his first full tour to the West Indies in 1971, Gavaskar said, "Even my wife and her family, who were Nawab of Pataudi fans, did not know who I was. After marriage my wife told me she and her sisters were very disappointed to see [Mansur Ali Khan] Pataudi's name missing from the list of players and some unknown Gavaskar's name included instead."
The same Gavaskar went on to score 774 runs and emerge the highest run-getter on a tour on debut.
Castrol also named India under-19 skipper Ambatti Rayudu as the junior cricketer of the year.
