However, with the IPL 2020 now marking its start, the Manjrekar is hoping to make his comeback to the commentary game during the tournament as per recent reports.

According to the TOI 's latest reports, the 55-year-old has written a second mail to the BCCI and promising to 'adhere to the guidelines'. 

"Respected members of the Apex Council, hope you all keeping well. You are already in receipt of the email I sent to explain my position as commentator. With the IPL dates announced, bcci.tv will pick its commentary panel soon."

"I will be happy to work as per the guidelines laid by you. After all, we are working on what is essentially your production. Last time may be there was not enough clarity on this issue. Thanks very much, Regards," he wrote in the email, as per reports.
