Reach out to fans: Thakur
Dharamsala: BCCI President Anurag Thakur wants the media managers of various state associations to focus more on "engagement with fans as well as mediapersons" rather than looking after "traditional arrangements". Thakur addressed the media managers of various state associations, who had gathered here for the first ever Annual Conclave of the BCCI.
"The focus should be on engagement and not mere arrangement. The media managers should now be able to tell the story of Indian cricket and also be responsible in highlighting the good work done by their respective state associations using the digital platform," Thakur told. "I want the media managers to reach out to those young fans on social media with relevant informations, which will be a way to engage them. We have already asked each state association to have their official FB and Twitter page, where information will be uploaded.”
