1990 and After
More was selected as Mohammad Azharuddin's vice captain to the team that toured New Zealand in 1990. In the second Test at Napier he scored his highest score of 73. He lost the vice captaincy to Ravi Shastri later that year in England. In the Lord's Test, More dropped the English opener Graham Gooch when he was 36. Gooch went on to score 333 runs. In the 1992 World Cup More was involved in a minor controversy when his constant appealing led Javed Miandad to mockingly leap up and down, apparently imitating More.
By early 1994, he lost his place in the Indian team to his Baroda team-mate Nayan Mongia. More played purely as a batsman for the state side when both were available. He captained Baroda till 1998.
More started the Kiran More-Alembic cricket academy in 1997. He was the Chairman of selectors for the Indian team from 2002-2006.
During his tenure as the Chairman of the Selection Committee he vowed to encourage and promote young cricketers by creating room for them in the Indian Cricket team by removing old and experienced players.

Famous quotes containing the words and after:
“We look before and after,
And pine for what is not:
Our sincerest laughter
With some pain is fraught;
Our sweetest songs are those that tell of saddest thought.”
—Percy Bysshe Shelley (1792–1822)
