India's former cricket skipper Anil Kumble [Images] has been nominated to the athletes' committee of the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA).
The leg spinner, who retired last month as the third highest Test wicket-taker with 619 wickets, has been included in the list announced on the WADA website (www.wada-ama.org).
Kumble's term will start on January 1.
One-third of the panel members, who play an advisory role in policy and priority development of the agency, are replaced on a rotational basis annually.
The International Cricket Council [Images] (ICC [Images]) is a signatory to the WADA Code.
