Ian Priest, Founding Partner of VCCP said: "We were actively seeking a cricketer with his attributes and credentials to commit time and effort to supporting the future of British cricket and the LCCC's 'Search for a Star' programme, in particular. He was a natural choice and we are delighted to be sponsoring him."
Kumble said: "I am truly honoured to be part of the LCCC's programme through VCCP's generous support. I will continue to work hard to promote cricket and to search for future stars of the game."
Kumble has amassed 565 test wickets and 371 oneday wickets so far in his cricket career.
