Former India cricketers including S Venkataraghavan, V V Kumar, Srikkanth and W V Raman would be attending the function, Keshav Sriraman, son of the former Board of Control for Cricket in India, told PTI.
Veteran cricketers like Bishan Singh Bedi, Kapil Dev, and G Vishwanath and EAS Prasanna were also likely to attend the event to be held at Image Auditorium, he added.
Sriraman, a native of Osur village near Villupuram, was seen as a visionary among Tamil Nadu cricket administrators. He started his journey as an executive committee member of TNCA before climbing the ranks to become the secretary.
