While no Maharashtra player found a place in the Indian team for the upcoming Kabaddi World Cup in Ahmedabad, it looks like the state has to be content with the appointment of the president of the Maharashtra State Kabaddi Association (MSKA) Kishor Patil as the team manager for the tournament. But in an interesting turn of events, Patil, who was appointed for the post on Thursday, denied any such development.
