Former Indian batsmen Sanjay Manjrekar is all set to return to commentary after being snubbed for IPL 2020. According to reports in Mumbai Mirror, the former Indian batsman will be a part of BCCI‘s commentary team for India’s Tour of Australia.

Earlier this year in March, the former cricketer-turned-commentator was sacked by the BCCI from its commentary panel, before the start of the home series against South Africa which was eventually cancelled due to COVID-19.

He was then not a part of the commentary panel in the IPL. Sanjay Manjrekar on his part wrote to the BCCI to include him, which the BCCI did not accept. The Mumbai Mirror report claimed that Sony Pictures network roped him in as one of the experts including Sunil Gavaskar and Harsha Bhogle. Michael Clarke, Glenn McGrath and Andrew Symonds also have been enrolled. Former Indian batsman Virender Sehwag has been included in the Hindi commentary team.
