Subramaniam also captained Tamil Nadu in Ranji Trophy and is a National Cricket Academy (NCA) certified coach.

“He also has a rich vein of experience when it comes to management and administrative capabilities having served both public and private sector organisations for over 16 years,” the BCCI statement added.
