Legendary Indian cricketer Sachin Tendulkar has
confirmed that he has ended the association with Indian Super League (ISL) club
Kerala Blasters.
The Master Blaster has been associated with the
Kochi-based side ever since its inception in 2014 when the ISL kicked off.
The star batsman gave a statement regarding the same and claimed that he
would continue to support the Men in Yellow in the ISL.
"Over the last four years, Kerala Blasters Football Club has been an
integral part of my life. I have undergone all the emotions that millions of
Kerala Blasters fans have undergone during this period.
"My association with Kerala Blasters was driven with the intent to
reignite the passion for the game and give the many fans and the abundant
talent in Kerala, a national platform to express themselves. It has been a
thrilling experience to chase this pursuit and something which I will always
cherish," he said.
"In its fifth year, it is important that the club puts the building
blocks for the next five years and beyond. It is also a time for me to reflect
on the role that I should play. After reflecting and much discussion with my
team, I have decided to exit my association with Kerala Blasters as a
co-promoter.
"I strongly believe that Kerala Blasters is in very good shape and
on its path to attain many more successes with the backing of its fans offering
unconditional support.
"I am very proud of Kerala Blasters and a piece of my heart will
always beat for the club!”
