'''Makarand Waingankar''' is an ex-cricket administrator and cricket columnist based in [[Mumbai]], [[India]]. He was the CEO of the [[Baroda Cricket Association]] and served in various positions with other [[Board of Control for Cricket in India|BCCI]] organs. As consultant to the [[Karnataka State Cricket Association]] in 2001, he set up a [[Talent Resource Development Wing]] (TRDW) to spot talent in rural districts in [[Karnataka]], away from the established urban centre of [[Bangalore]]. This initiative was successful, and was replicated nationwide by the BCCI in 2002, when [[Jagmohan Dalmiya]] was President. The TRDW Chairman was ex-[[India national cricket team|India]] [[test cricket|test]] captain [[Dilip Vengsarkar]], assisted by [[Brijesh Patel]]. The TRDW helped discover many successful players, including present India captain [[Mahendra Singh Dhoni]], [[Suresh Raina]], [[Irfan Pathan]], [[RP Singh]], [[VRV Singh]], and others.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.thehindu.com/todays-paper/tp-sports/article1606925.ece|title=BCCI needs to hunt and groom bowlers|date=7 April 2011|accessdate=8 April 2011|publisher=[[The Hindu]]}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.hindu.com/2006/05/30/stories/2006053004941900.htm|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20071001063817/http://www.hindu.com/2006/05/30/stories/2006053004941900.htm|url-status=dead|archive-date=October 1, 2007|date=May 30, 2006|accessdate=8 April 2011|work=[[The Hindu]]|title=TRDW - the way to go}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=http://epaper.timesofindia.com/Repository/ml.asp?Ref=TU1JUi8yMDA4LzAzLzEzI0FyMDI2MDA=&Mode=HTML&Locale=english-skin-custom|title=Bring back the scouts|publisher=[[Mumbai Mirror]]|date=March 30, 2008|accessdate=8 April 2011}}</ref>

Waingankar was contracted to set up a TRDW for the [[Indian Premier League]] franchise [[Kolkata Knight Riders]] (KKR) in 2009, the [[2009 Indian Premier League|second IPL season]], to spot talent nationwide.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.iplpulse.com/ipl/kkr-ipl/waingankar-joins-kolkata-knight-riders-as-trdw-chief/|title=Wainganker joins KKR as TRDW chief|date=1 May 2009|accessdate=8 April 2011}}</ref> However, after doing the initial groundwork, he resigned from his position due to strong disagreements with the controversial then KKR coach, [[John Buchanan (cricketer, born 1953)|John Buchanan]], over team selection and John's "multiple captains" theory.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.openthemagazine.com/article/sports/in-a-hell-called-kolkata-knight-riders|title=In a hell called Kolkata Knight Riders|date=30 May 2009|accessdate=8 April 2011}}</ref>

Waingankar also worked closely with Dilip Vengsarkar and helped establish the Elf-Vengsarkar Cricket Academy in Mumbai.<ref name="Express">{{cite web|url=http://www.indianexpress.com/ie/daily/19970502/12250753.html|title=Makarand Waingankar - Different strokes for different folks|date = 2 May 1997|accessdate=9 April 2011|publisher=[[Indian Express]]}}</ref> In the late 80s, Bombay's [[Ranji Trophy]] team was very strong in batting, but lacked in the bowling department. To counter this, Waingankar played a pivotal role in setting up the BCA-Mafatlal Bowling Scheme in 1990, in which budding bowlers were trained by renowned English [[fast bowling|fast bowler]] [[Frank Tyson]]. [[Abey Kuruvilla]], [[Paras Mhambrey]], [[Sairaj Bahutule]], [[Salil Ankola]] and [[Nilesh Kulkarni]] are some of the bowlers who emerged from the academy, many of whom became regular [[India national cricket team|India]] players through the 1990s.<ref name="Express" /><ref>{{cite web|url=http://lite.epaper.timesofindia.com/mobile.aspx?article=yes&pageid=30&sectid=edid=&edlabel=TOIM&mydateHid=20-10-2010&pubname=Times+of+India+-+Mumbai&edname=&articleid=Ar03002&publabel=TOI|title=Stalwarts plan to revive scheme that changed their lives|publisher=[[Times of India]]|accessdate=9 April 2011}}</ref>
