The bulky former India off-spinner was appointed chairman of the All-India junior selection committee in April 2018. Kapoor was part of India’s 1996 World Cup squad, but played very few matches thereafter as India were stunned by Sri Lanka in the semi-finals at the Eden Gardens.

Kapoor was part of the stunning collapse India had on that forgettable evening as he played a horrible slog shot to be dismissed for a duck. Although he played 17 ODIs from 1995 to 2000, he finished with a poor record -- merely eight wickets at 76.50 with a best of 2 for 33. In the 4 Tests he featured in between 1994 and 1996, he did not fare much better -- claimed only six wickets at an average of 42.50.
